Air Hockey game created using pygame

airhockey's Issues

Don't let the paddles cross the middle-line and go to the other side

Make game run with click on an executable [ubuntu]

Make an executable that'll run the game without the need to open terminal.

Make Collisions as a Circle colliding with Circle

It seems as if the Puck(circle) is colliding with a rectangle hence no component of Vertical Velocity is changing please assign it to me

Create a logo for the game

Create an online ranking database based on score

Works with #15

Score of A: X
Score of B: Y

if X>Y:
Game Points= X*(X-Y)
if X=Y:
Extra round is played until X>Y or Y>X

Let the players choose their paddle colors

Add scoring system

Using Images for background, puck and paddle.

Make the puck and paddle circles of almost same size.

Increase the radius of the puck
Use concentric circles for the paddle

Error when puck enters a goal

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 161, in <module>
    gameLoop(7)
  File "main.py", line 125, in gameLoop
    puck.reset()
TypeError: reset() takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given)

Make the game internet multiplayer

Impact issues when puck and paddle, both are moving

It seems that often puck passes the paddle when both are moving in x direction, also as per law of physics in this scenario the impact must not just reverse the velocity of the puck but also add a component of paddleVelocity to it

Add Screenshots to readme

Add goals on either end and add Scoring system

The goal width should be appropriate
Also, design and display the scoring system.
Refer to Air Hockey Wiki

Correct impact between puck and red bar

The impact between the puck and red bar is not perfect, it looks as if the puck is not touching , rather passing through the red bar.

Upon Reset Puck should go randomly

When reset the Puck sets off in only a specific direction based of who loses, it should be more random

Make paddles a circle instead of a bar

Like the actual air hockey

Make the puck circular

Currently, the puck is a small square, make it a circle.

Increase the paddle and puck size

Let the players select difficulty level

Difficulty level is directly proportional to the velocity of the puck.

Slow puck : Easy
Fast puck: Difficult

Collision not proper between the paddles and puck

Create Different Classes for different in game objects

Like a paddle class for paddles so they are more visible better manageable and make the overall code more readable

Add fullscreen support

Add full screen support for this game to make it more immerse .

Make a pause screen

I guess I can do that @Aniq55

Directory changes

• Rename img to aux (for auxiliary) and put the 1.wav file inside it
• Make the necessary changes in the README and python files

Using time limit for each round

if there will be three rounds ,use constant time limit for each round, because :--
1> global best points will remain open ended,hence can be updated with the score
2> I gotta think of more reasons

I can work on this even @Aniq55

update screenshots

update the screen-shots with start-screen and the game screen-shots

Add sound for goal

Play a sound each time the puck hits the goal

Add a background music track which plays on loop

Play sound each time a paddle strikes the puck

Score not displayed and size of game objects decreased

There is some problem with the latest merge. I am not reverting it. Please code the fix to it ASAP.

• Scores not displayed
• Size of puck and paddle scaled down

Refactoring

Hello, I was going through the code base and found few places where I think we can re-factor the code to make it more readable and reusable. I would like to work on refactoring, but this might cause problems with the ongoing projects, should I go for refactoring?

Fix Readme

The Linux section under Run is invalid, also there are merge conflict comments in few headers.

Increase the puck, paddle and overall board size

Update screenshot in readme

Puck-Paddle collision not perfect.

At slow speeds we can observe that the collisions are imperfect and unnatural.

Make icon appear on taskbar

Instead of a question mark, the game's logo should appear on the taskbar.

Create a Start Game Screen

Create a start game page, which says "Press Enter to start game" and then start game.

Puck interacting with Paddle on the shorter side or corner

These pics show the problem.

Bounce off walls

The ball should bounce off all walls, even the ones which are vertical.

Add caption for taskbar and windows

Show "Air Hockey" when hovered over taskbar activity or window.

Make each game of three rounds

Make each game of three rounds and declare the winner at the end of the game

Puck bounce off at an angle on colliding

Depending of the portion of the paddle the puck collides, it should bounce off at an angle, something like this:

Bot vs Human match

Develop AI for Bot vs Human match. The Bot should be nearly impossible.
Better to use a variable reflex delay and speed the values of which will change the difficulty level of the match. High reflex delay and Low speed : Easy and Low reflex delay and High speed: Difficult

Add friction to the puck

Frictional Force = -B.v , where B is the friction coefficient and v is the velocity vector
Assume suitable mass (m) of the puck and apply deceleration in the direction opposite to velocity vector:
deceleration = -B.v/m

Add function to serve the puck

Whenever a goal happens, the player who loses should be able to decide the position of the puck and then hit it according to himself.

Change the table color

#f7eda5 = rgb(247, 237, 165)

Enhance the README

Introducing power-ups in the game

Power-ups appear in the game at random timings, the player has to touch it with their paddle to activate it. Some possible features are:

• Bonus points
• Slowing the puck on their side for 5 seconds
• decreasing the size of the goal in their area
• increasing the length of the paddle

The power-ups may also appear non-randomly, based on the performance of the player. suppose, consecutive 3 goals by one player shows a power-up.

Error while starting game

I am getting this error while starting the game

File "Air_hockey.py", line 101, in <module>
    pygame.draw.circle(screen, (255,255,255), (puck.x, puck.y), (puck.width/2))
TypeError: integer argument expected, got float

Refers to line 101. You should probably typecast it to an integer.
