Check Out Repository Live Demo

Technical Details:

Language: Python
Libraries: turtle, time
Concepts: Game Development, Object-Oriented Programming, Collision Detection, Animation, User-Input
Features: Implements two-player gameplay with keyboard controls (Up/Down arrow keys and 'w'/'s' keys'), Animates the movement of the ball and paddles, Detects collisions between the ball and paddles and between the ball and walls, Reverses the ball's direction upon collision, increasing speed after paddle hits, Tracks and displays the score for each player, Resets the ball to the center after a player scores, Uses `screen.tracer(0)` and `screen.update()` for smoother animation, Utilizes object-oriented programming with classes for `Paddle`, `Ball`, and `Scoreboard`

Key Learnings:

This project provided in-depth practice with the `turtle` graphics library, object-oriented programming, animation, collision detection, and implementing game mechanics. It also reinforced my understanding of event handling and using timers to control game speed.
