Overview
The Air Hockey game was my second venture into game development using Python and the Pygame library. It’s a digital recreation of the classic arcade air hockey game, featuring both single-player and AI-controlled gameplay.
Details
The game features a computer-controlled opponent that reacts dynamically based on the puck's position:
- If the puck is on the player’s side, the computer retreats to protect its goal.
- If the puck is on the computer’s side, the computer chases the puck as fast as its speed limit allows.
This simple algorithm created a challenging and enjoyable gameplay experience without overcomplicating the AI design.
