About

This is a little project I made in about 2 hours to brush up on a few programming techniques after having noticed I was getting rusty from lack of actually doing anything. I had so much fun playing against the working AI that I eventually updated it and made it a free browser game.

Ping Pong by Peace Of Cake Games is not affiliated with the original Pong and is just based off of it.
