Pong game

The Project

The Scratch Pong Game is a classic arcade game where two players control paddles on opposite sides of the screen. A ball bounces between the paddles, and the players must move their paddles to hit the ball and prevent it from passing their side. The goal is to score points by getting the ball past the opponent's paddle. The game features simple controls using the arrow keys to move the paddles and a scoring system to keep track of points. It's a fun and interactive game that helps beginners learn basic game development concepts in Scratch.
