A two player Pong clone, written in Lua using LÖVE2D.

This game is under development and has only been tested on a single Android 11 device. Some bugs, kinks, missing features (title screen, restart button, etc.) and such are WIP.

• LÖVE for Android (v11.3) with storage permissions granted

• Termux with storage mounted (i.e. can access Downloads from Termux storage)

• LÖVE for Android (v11.3) with storage permissions granted

Pong is a table tennis style game where players must keep a ball in play using paddles. If the ball goes beyond the player's paddle, the opponent gets a point.

In this clone, the first player to 5 points wins.

The paddle remains in constant motion. Players change the direction of their paddle by tapping on their half of the screen.

• Clone the repo and enter it

git clone https://github.com/patrickm663/pong.git
cd pong/

• Run make

make

• A .love file is created and copied to Download/lovegame

Enter the repository and use make

make run

Add/access the .love file to Download/lovegame or similar and open with LÖVE for Android.

The Makefile is from https://github.com/CSaratakij/LovePlayground. The author @CSaratakij also guided me on which version of LÖVE for Android to use.

The original Pong game is copyright Atari Inc, 1972.
