Built within 30 minutes Use your mouse
I gave myself a challenge to build anything in 30 minutes. I had remembered there being a pong tutorial on scratch. I didn't use the tutorial but Pong was a simple idea that was not too difficult. First, I created the sprites and built the code for them. I had to make the enemy move towards the ball but randomly offset from the position so you could score. I then made the Player Paddle move more smoothly, slowing down when it gets closer to the cursor. I decided to add a goal effect to the game. So I decided on a gradient. I made the ball return to the center so it can go on forever. After, I thought that the game was a bit to easy, so i added a feature where every time the paddle touches the ball, the ball speeds up slightly.
