Ping Pong Game in Python

 Hello Guys how are you ? Hope You all are in safe and sound condition 

Welcome to my first blog on python programming on: How to make a simple Ping Pong game in python? 

So lets start 

Table tennis, also known as Ping-Pong and whiff-whaff, is a sport in which two players hit a lightweight ball, also known as the Ping-Pong ball, back and forth across a table using small rackets. ... A point is scored when a player fails to return the ball within the rules

Some Screen Shots of the game 

This is the source code:

#Ping Pong Game By Pulastya

import turtle

import os

wn = turtle.Screen()

wn.title("Pong Game By Pulastya")

wn.bgcolor("black")

wn.setup(width=800, height=600)

wn.tracer(0)

# Score

score_a = 0

score_b = 0

# Paddle A

paddle_a = turtle.Turtle()

paddle_a.speed(0)

paddle_a.shape("square")

paddle_a.color("Green")

paddle_a.shapesize(stretch_wid=5,stretch_len=1)

paddle_a.penup()

paddle_a.goto(-350, 0)

# Paddle B

paddle_b = turtle.Turtle()

paddle_b.speed(0)

paddle_b.shape("square")

paddle_b.color("Red")

paddle_b.shapesize(stretch_wid=5,stretch_len=1)

paddle_b.penup()

paddle_b.goto(350, 0)

# Ball

ball = turtle.Turtle()

ball.speed(0)

ball.shape("circle")

ball.color("yellow")

ball.penup()

ball.goto(0, 0)

ball.dx = 0.1

ball.dy = 0.1

# Pen

pen = turtle.Turtle()

pen.speed(0)

pen.shape("square")

pen.color("white")

pen.penup()

pen.hideturtle()

pen.goto(0, 260)

pen.write("Player A: 0  Player B: 0", align="center", font=("Courier", 24, "normal"))

# Functions

def paddle_a_up():

    y = paddle_a.ycor()

    y += 20

    paddle_a.sety(y)

def paddle_a_down():

    y = paddle_a.ycor()

    y -= 20

    paddle_a.sety(y)

def paddle_b_up():

    y = paddle_b.ycor()

    y += 20

    paddle_b.sety(y)

def paddle_b_down():

    y = paddle_b.ycor()

    y -= 20

    paddle_b.sety(y)

# Keyboard bindings

wn.listen()

wn.onkeypress(paddle_a_up, "w")

wn.onkeypress(paddle_a_down, "s")

wn.onkeypress(paddle_b_up, "Up")

wn.onkeypress(paddle_b_down, "Down")

# Main game loop

while True:

    wn.update()

    

    # Move the ball

    ball.setx(ball.xcor() + ball.dx)

    ball.sety(ball.ycor() + ball.dy)

    # Border checking

    # Top and bottom

    if ball.ycor() > 290:

        ball.sety(290)

        ball.dy *= -1

        

    

    elif ball.ycor() < -290:

        ball.sety(-290)

        ball.dy *= -1

        

    # Left and right

    if ball.xcor() > 350:

        score_a += 1

        pen.clear()

        pen.write("Player A: {}  Player B: {}".format(score_a, score_b), align="center", font=("Courier", 24, "normal"))

        ball.goto(0, 0)

        ball.dx *= -1

    elif ball.xcor() < -350:

        score_b += 1

        pen.clear()

        pen.write("Player A: {}  Player B: {}".format(score_a, score_b), align="center", font=("Courier", 24, "normal"))

        ball.goto(0, 0)

        ball.dx *= -1

    # Paddle and ball collisions

    if ball.xcor() < -340 and ball.ycor() < paddle_a.ycor() + 50 and ball.ycor() > paddle_a.ycor() - 50:

        ball.dx *= -1 

       

    

    elif ball.xcor() > 340 and ball.ycor() < paddle_b.ycor() + 50 and ball.ycor() > paddle_b.ycor() - 50:

        ball.dx *= -1

CONTROLS:    Paddle A (Left) : 'W' and 'S'

                           Paddle B(Right) :'Up arrow key' and 'Down arrow key'

 Tip: To change the Speed of the ball. Just enter the speed in the highlighted portion of the code for some computers 2 is ok but for some 0.1 works well (For my PC 0.1 works well).

You can adjust it according to your need.

I am using the python IDE Thonny
