About the Project

King Pong is a reimagined version of the classic Pong game, where players must climb a tower of increasing difficulty to claim the title of King. The game was developed as a collaborative project using Python, Pygame, and PPlay. Despite being created with minimal object-oriented programming, King Pong offers a fun and challenging gameplay experience.

Features

• Classic Pong Mechanics: Retains the core elements of the original Pong game.
• Tower Climb Mode: Progress through levels of increasing difficulty as you ascend the tower.
• Simple Yet Engaging: Easy to pick up and play, with a challenging progression system.
• Power Ups: To spice things up!.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Make sure you have Python installed on your system. You'll also need the following Python libraries:

• Pygame

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Guedxx/LabDeJogos.git
   cd LabDeJogos
   

2. Install the required libraries:

   pip install pygame
   

Running the Game

Enjoy the climb to become the King of Pong!

Gameplay

In King Pong, players face off against AI as they climb a tower of increasingly difficult levels. The goal is to outplay your opponent by bouncing the ball past them, taking away 3 health points makes you advance to the next stage. The higher you climb, the tougher the challenges become.

W: Moves UP.

S: Moves DOWN.

Space: Dashes.

Momentum: The more you move the faster you become. Dashing can help you gain momentum.

Code Overview

King Pong was developed with minimal object-oriented programming, as the project was created before the participants had formal education in OOP. The code may be a bit rough around the edges, but it is functional and effective.

Key Files:

• main.py: Contains the core gameplay mechanics.
• setup.py: It's the sprite controler and holds the menu.
• animations.py: Contains all the animations of the game, they were all made in pure code!
• enemysIA.py: Contains all the enemys behaviour, their momentum logic and power up use.
• gamefunctions.py: Contains the pause menu code.
• ingame.py: Calls all the sprites in a list and Draws/Updates them.
• powerUps.py: Changes the sprite of the power UP sprite in the lvl.

Despite its simple structure, the codebase is a good example of early-stage game development, and we are proud of what we’ve accomplished.
