Ping Pang

Starting

Two players:

ruby main.rb

One player against a "bot":

ruby main.rb -b

Description

The classic Pong game implemented in Ruby with the Gosu library. See Installation instructions on The Gosu wiki for setting up Gosu.

Background

The game was implemented during a vacation in China, so the name comes from the Chinese word for ping-pong, 乒乓, which is spelled pīng pāng in pinyin.

Game Play

It's a one or two player game. The left player uses W and S on the keyboard to move the paddle, and D to serve. The right player uses Up Arrow and Down Arrow to move and Left Arrow to serve, unless it's one player mode, in which case the bot moves the right paddle.
