Challenge

Citizens of Mintropolis our Mayor has kicked off the development of the Beanporium arcade.

He is asking the developers of Mintropolis create a replica of one of the very first video games in existence PONG.

Pong was a groundbreaking electronic game released in 1972 by the American game manufacturer Atari, Inc. One of the earliest video games, Pong became wildly popular and helped launch the video game industry. The original Pong consisted of two paddles that players used to volley a small ball back and forth across a screen.

Ping? Pong! Pong was the very first popular video game. Today we’ll build advanced versions of pong with lasers, shields, bombs, and more!
