You''ll have to give more information about what your troubles are or your not going to get many helpfull answers.. I''m pretty sure that if you did a search on google for a pong tutorial you''d find at least 1 or 2...

If you have a more specific problem then you can definitly post it here and people can give their advise on how they would solve the problem.. but its impossible to tell what exactly your having problems with ..

here''s how i did it:
choose a language (4 me was VB)
+ start with the graphics engine - i used DirectDraw (write helpers funcs for this)
+ make the ball, ball movement, and collision with the screen edges
+ do the input stuff (moving paddles)
+ do collision detection with the paddles
(now u have 2 players pong)
optional:
+ do AI (quite simple)
+ do multiplayer (i used DirectInput)
+ make a nice GUI (i made some simple ugly but efective forms)

if u need more info, mail me (look at the profile)

Pong is my next venture after I complete this more difficult game. Funny that, because Pong would be an easier game for me to code - I just wanna play it. All it would take beyond the graphics described earlier, is collision detection with elementary physics and vectors.

Beginners and experts will find answers here.
