PongHAT

PongHAT is a Pong game running on a Raspberry Pi 3 using functionalities from the Sense HAT.

This game offers two modes:

• A first one, available during the first two levels where the player plays against a wall.

• A second, from the third level, allowing artificial intelligence (AI) to appear in the game, increasing the similarities with the traditional pong game.

NOTE: the speed of the game gradually increases with each game. Similarly, it increases as you move to the next level.

Installation

It's as simple as that:

pip install ponghat

Usage

After being connected to the Raspberry using the Sense HAT and installed ponghat, execute the following command to start a game:

ponghat

Alternatively you can run this tool using Docker:

# Build the image
docker build -t ponghat .

# Run the image
docker run -v $(pwd):/app ponghat python ponghat.py

NOTE: if you don't have any Sense HAT, you can use a Sense HAT emulator.
