Pong made with Godot and GDScript

pong-with-godot's Issues

Add main menu as first scene

The Problem

Right now the game starts immediately on launch, which is obviously not ideal. To solve this issue, a main menu has to be made.

Possible Solutions

The main menu should be on a different scene and should start the game on pressing a UI button or a key/mouse button while the window is in focus. It should also show 'Pong with Godot' as the title (obviously).

The ball only moves to the left

Whenever the game restarts, the ball always goes to the left. I can make it alternate from left to right every alternate round to improve the experience.

Add simple AI to the opponent (right side paddle)

The Problem

Right now both the paddles are controlled by the player(s). This issue is a feature request for a simple AI for the right paddle.

Possible Solutions

Implementing a simple pong AI means having the right paddle move towards where the ball would end up if it kept travelling in the direction it's currently travelling in. Do not account for wall bounces since this will make the AI basically unbeatable. Recalculate where the ball will end up if it bounces against a wall.

In other words, the desired position is calculated by casting a ray from the current ball position, along its velocity vector, and seeing if it intersects the line which the AI is moving along. If it intersects a wall, the velocity changes, and tested again.

Make the game more high octance

The Problem

The game is really slow and boring right now, make it a bit faster.

Possible Solutions

Change the speeds of the paddle and ball to be a bit faster than they already are. Make sure the game is still playable.

Add game over screen when the ball goes out of bounds

The Problem

Currently the game just restarts automatically if the ball goes out of bounds. The task is to create a game over screen when this happens.

Possible Solutions

Create a game over screen with two buttons: A restart button to start the game again, and another to exit to main menu. (If the main menu has not be merged to the master branch, you can make this a dummy button that doesn't do anything).
