Game Rules

The game is a classic ping pong match between two players. Each player controls a paddle on their side of the screen. The objective is to hit the ball with the paddle and score points. The game continues until one of the players reaches the winning score. The winning score is set to 10 by default but can be changed by modifying the winningscore variable in the code. Game Features The game features a simple user interface with paddles, a ball, and a score display. Paddles can be moved up and down using specified keys. The ball bounces off the paddles and walls, and scores are updated accordingly. The game announces the winner when either player reaches the winning score. After a victory, the game resets, allowing for a new match to begin.

This rendition of ping pong would not have been possible without the Pygame module, as well as this super awesome tutorial I was able to follow and draw my inspiration from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVGTZlnnX3U .
