Hello Everyone.

I have made a Pong clone using Godot 4.
The game has the following features:

  • 2 play modes:
    • Player vs Player
    • Player vs A.I
  • A series of options that can be configured
    • Maximum score for achieve victory (set to 10 as default value).
    • Three difficulties to play against the A.I.
    • Enable or disable the sound effects.
    • Change the color of the paddles, ball, background and field separator.

The source code is also available

Great job! Control feels good, the AI doesn’t patronize, randomized reflection vectors to keep things from getting stale, and you even thought to handle what would happen if the ball clips out of play!

Any thoughts on what you’d like to make next?

Hello.
Thanks for the reply.

Regarding your question:

Any thoughts on what you’d like to make next?

Since I have a full time job, I currently don’t have in mind to make big games but instead doing small things like

  1. Update my previous game, also made in Godot, trying to add small features, like a menu or something, because the game is simply reaching the destination without any real challenge for the player.
  2. Making another ‘clone’ game, specifically the Alien Attack game from the 2D Godot course with a twist.

Both ideas are always regarding learning how to use better the Godot game engine.

Very good! I certainly had fun making my version of Alien Attack too.

The reason I ask is because this might be of interest to you if you’re looking for targeted inspiration for gradually building your capabilities. You’ve already completed level 1 as it is =)

I’m glad others are finding it useful too! I haven’t actually done it myself because I only recently discovered it and I’m developing a full-fledged game, but I really like how this challenge is structured, yet open-ended and flexible. It seems to be pretty popular, and probably for exactly those reasons.

I “only” need to find time; work, looking for (more) work, studying Blender, a pending course on UE, ML, AI… and the weekly Collab, of course. Still I will find the way :laughing: !

Maybe if will help if you made some clocks in Blender XD

Actually, now that I’m typing, I remember HobbyPirates did exactly that a couple months ago =)

Thank you very much for sharing the link.
In the how it works section it is mentioned Pong as a game to start making, which I already did :smile:.
I’m going to ask them to feature also my game since I did all the goals.

Thanks :slight_smile:
