Pong (The 20 Games Challenge)

Like what you see? Buy me a coffee or support me on Ko-fi

I'm learning Godot. Watch me suck at game dev while I make basic projects and improve my GDScript knowledge.

I've always suggested people make Pong as their first game when learning a new engine. It teaches you trig/velocities, collision detection, input handling, persistent state storage (scoreboard), win/failure state, and audio if you are so inclined.

What better way to learn a new engine/language than by taking my own advice? Hahahaha oh god help me game dev is hard.

I have decided to make this project part of my initiation of The 20 Games Challenge.
