Pong

Pong is a small 2D arcade game written in C++ using raylib for graphics and input and SFML for audio. Control the player paddle, return the ball, and score against an AI-controlled opponent.

• Player-versus-AI gameplay
• AI paddle that tracks the ball
• Ball and paddle collision detection
• Player and AI score tracking
• Randomized ball direction after each point
• Hit and scoring sound effects
• Custom arcade-inspired visuals
• CMake-based build configuration

• A C++17-compatible compiler
• CMake 3.10 or newer
• SFML 2.6.2 with the System, Audio, Graphics, and Window components
• An internet connection during the first configuration so CMake can download raylib 5.0

The current CMake configuration expects Homebrew's sfml@2 installation on an Apple Silicon Mac.

Clone the repository and enter its directory:

git clone https://github.com/BeniNobel/Pong.git
cd Pong

Install CMake and SFML 2 with Homebrew:

brew install cmake sfml@2

raylib 5.0 is downloaded automatically by CMake when the project is configured.

Build and run the game from the repository root:

make
make run

The equivalent direct CMake commands are:

cmake -S . -B build
cmake --build build
./build/Pong

Run the executable from the repository root so it can locate the files under assets/.

To remove generated build files:

make clean
