Frequently Asked Questions
How do I play Pong?
The game runs a requestAnimationFrame loop with delta-time scaling to 60fps. Ball physics use velocity vectors with a 1.05x speed multiplier on each paddle hit, and the bounce angle is determined by where the ball contacts the paddle. The CPU AI only tracks the ball once it crosses 40% of the canvas width heading toward it, and periodically randomizes its aim offset to create beatable imperfection.
Can I play against another person?
Yes. Two players can play on the same screen using different keyboard controls -- one player uses W/S keys and the other uses the arrow keys.
Can I adjust the difficulty?
Yes. Adjust the ball speed and AI reaction time to make the game easier or harder. Start slow to learn the controls and increase speed for a challenge.
Does it work on mobile?
The game is designed for keyboard controls on desktop. On mobile, touch controls may be available but the experience is best with a keyboard.
