Pong

My first Unity project, a classic Pong clone built from scratch while learning game development with Unity and C#.

About

This is a learning project built step by step: paddle movement, ball physics, collision-based angle control, goal detection, a score system, a win condition, sound effects, and a start screen, all implemented from the ground up.

How to Play

• Left paddle: W / S
• Right paddle: `Up Arrow` / `Down Arrow`
• Before the match starts, choose how many points are needed to win using the `+` / `-` buttons on the start screen.
• First player to reach the target score wins. Hit Restart to play again.

Features

• Two-paddle local multiplayer
• Physics-based ball movement with paddle-angle deflection (where you hit the paddle changes the ball's direction)
• Ball speeds up progressively after a set number of paddle hits
• Live score display (TextMeshPro)
• Configurable win condition, set from an in-game start screen
• Win screen with a restart button
• Sound effects for hits, goals, and winning

Built With

• Unity 6 (2D, Built-in Render Pipeline)
• C#

Status

Work in progress, built as part of a personal transition into game development. 

Next up: additional gameplay modes (single player / 2 player selection).
