Racquetball5

So what is it?

A one/two player re-imagining of Pong created in JavaScript. I was playing a lot of racquetball at the time and wanted to play with the idea of a simple (not so faithful) digital recreation. This was a fun project to learn canvas back when it was brand new.

The code and UI are a bit stinky because I wasn’t a star programmer 15ish years ago, but the gameplay is still pretty fun.

Rules

It’s a classic showdown of red vs green. Hit the ball when it’s the color of your paddle, and don’t let it reach the back wall. If you hit the ball when it’s your opponents color, or let it hit the back wall while it’s yours, your opponent gets a point, and vice versa.
