Air Hockey 🏒

This game was made using the awesome pygame module to gain ideas for a object oriented approach to problems.

How to run it? ❓

• At first you need to have python installed. I've used Python 3.8.1 and you can get the latest version of python from here.
• Then use pip to install pygame. Usually pip comes with Python. If not then get it from here.
• Compile and run the main.py script. ❗

What does it contain? 🔎

At first, it has a simple GUI that prompts the players to enter names that would be used ingame It also contains these scripts:

• classdef.py

  Handles all the class definiton, physics, keeping track of the scores, logging and many more.

• gui.py

  Creates the basic gui that takes in the names of the players.

• keypress.py

  This script detects keyboard inputs and gives the command to move the players around.

• main.py

  This is the script that has the main loop and almost every constant can be maniulated from here.

It also has gameBG.jpg , the background image 🖼 and bgMusic.mp3 , the background music 🎵 .

Future Plans 📝

This project is by no means polished. It still has a few bugs. Some of the fiels that I want to improve upon are:

• The physics in this is not really realistic. Improving the physics would be the number 1 priority.
• The state of the GUI could be improved
• Currently the program doesn't close when it is displaying info about goals or wins (as time.delay() is used)
• I couldn't add better sprites and I would certainly like to add them and also sfx.
