🏟️ About

Python Tennis is a classic Pong-inspired arcade game developed using Python and Pygame.

Control your paddle, return the ball, and keep the rally alive for as long as possible. The game recreates one of gaming's earliest arcade experiences while demonstrating the fundamentals of 2D game development, collision detection, animation, and real-time game loops.

🧠 Game Logic

while running:

    handle_input()

    move_paddles()

    update_ball()

    detect_collisions()

    update_score()

    render_frame()

The game follows the classic real-time loop:

Input → Physics → Collision → Score → Render → Repeat
