Tiny Pong

Tiny Pong for micro:bit-v2. There is a code walkthrough on my website.

Flash Tiny Pong to the micro:bit-v2

To flash Tiny Tetris to your micro:bit-v2, type the following from inside the directory:

tinygo build -o=/run/media/{USERNAME}/MICROBIT/flash.hex -target=microbit-v2 main.go

Status

Currently the game is a human player against a naive computer opponent.

• Human player starts with the ball, whoever scores a point gets to launch the ball next
• Computer paddle bounds from side to side without consideration for ball location
• Game ends when either player accumulates 5 points, and point counts are displayed one row out from each player's paddle

Possible Enhancements

• Computer strategy (follow ball trajectory, anticipate human location when launching ball)
• Allow human player to change direction with button input
• Mode for 2 human players (with menu to select 1 or 2 human players)
• Increase update speed over time
• Opening splash animation
• Option to play again? (maintain win count across games?)
