Introduction
In this project, you will learn how to create a Pong game using Python and the Pygame library. Pong is a classic two-player arcade game where players control paddles to hit a ball past each other.
To complete this project, you will need to follow the steps below. We will start by creating the project files and setting up the game window. Then, we will define the colors and set up the paddles and ball. Finally, we will move the paddles and ball, handle collisions, and draw the game elements.
