Pong

A pong clone written in C++ using SFML

About

This originaly was a project to learn networking, however I've decided to add more features to it and make a better game.

Current features:

• Main menu (with an AI game in the background)
• Singleplayer and Multiplayer modes
• Singleplayer opponent AI

Planned features:

• Currently connecting to the server requires typing into the console, I want this to be GUI based
• Player will be able choose whether to host a server on their own machine, or join another player's server
• AI will hopefully become more realistic and have diffuculty levels

Building

This has not been tested or built for Windows. I will be working on a simple way to build with Windows, this will probably be with an SFML submodule. If anyone can find a way to work nice with Windows, please submit a PR.

First be sure to have SFML libraries installed on your system

For linux (Ubuntu/Debian): sudo apt install libsfml-dev For MacOS (Homebrew): brew install sfml

Then clone the project: git clone --recurse-submodules [email protected]:slinky55/Pong-Cpp.git
