A simple implementation of the classic Pong game using the SFML library
.gif)
This project showcases a boucing ball (representing the classic Pong ball) that moves around the screen and bounces off the edges. The game window has a resolution of 850x500 pixels.
- SFML library: This game uses the Simple and Fast Multimedia Library (SFML) for rendering and handling user input. Ensure you have SFML. Installed and set up correctly.
- Clone this repo to your local machine
- Navigate to the project directory
- Compile the game using C++ compiler, ensuring you link against the necessary SFML libraries.
You can use: g++ -std=gnu++20 main.cpp
-I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/sfml/2.6.0/include
-L/opt/homebrew/Cellar/sfml/2.6.0/lib
-lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system
-I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/box2d/2.4.1/include
-L/opt/homebrew/Cellar/box2d/2.4.1/lib
-lbox2d
-o main && ./main
4. Run the compiled executable.
- The game initializes a ball with a texture loaded from a local path.
- The ball is set to move with a certain velocity in both the x and y directions.
- The game loop checks for window close events and updates the ball's position.
- If the ball reaches the edges of the window, it reverses its velocity to simulate a bounce.
- Add paddles for two players.
- Implement scoring mechanism
- Add sound effects for ball bounces.
