Create Ping Pong Game Using Python — Turtle

Ping Pong is a simple two player game.
You can create this game using Python with just few lines of code. The Python Library we are going to use is ‘Turtle’.

Turtle is a pre-installed Python library which enables users to create shapes and pictures by providing them virtual canvas.

The code is very simple. Just see the code given below and I hope you’ll understand it in minutes.

Code — Ping Pong Game

# Ping Pong Game

import turtle

wn = turtle.Screen()
wn.title("Pong By Abubaker")
wn.bgcolor("Black")
wn.setup(width=800, height=600)
wn.tracer(0)

# Score
score_a = 0
score_b = 0

# Paddle A
paddle_a = turtle.Turtle()
paddle_a.speed(0)
paddle_a.shape("square")
paddle_a.color("white")
paddle_a.shapesize(stretch_wid=5, stretch_len=1)
paddle_a.penup()
paddle_a.goto(-350, 0)

# Paddle B
paddle_b = turtle.Turtle()
paddle_b.speed(0)
paddle_b.shape("square")
paddle_b.color("white")
paddle_b.shapesize(stretch_wid=5, stretch_len=1)
paddle_b.penup()
paddle_b.goto(350, 0)

# Ball

ball = turtle.Turtle()
ball.speed(0)
ball.shape("circle")
ball.color("white")
ball.penup()
ball.goto(0, 0)
ball.dx = 1
ball.dy = -1

# Pen
pen = turtle.Turtle()
pen.speed(0)
pen.color("white")
pen.penup()
pen.hideturtle()
pen.goto(0, 260)
pen.write("Player A: 0 Player B: 0", align="center", font=("courier", 24, "normal"))


# Functions

    y = paddle_a.ycor()
    y += 20
    paddle_a.sety(y)


def paddle_a_down():
    y = paddle_a.ycor()
    y -= 20
    paddle_a.sety(y)

while True:
    wn.update()

    # Move the ball
    ball.setx(ball.xcor() + ball.dx)
    ball.sety(ball.ycor() + ball.dy)

    # Border Checking
    # Border Up and Down
    if ball.ycor() > 290:
        ball.sety(290)
        ball.dy *= -1

    if ball.ycor() < -290:
        ball.sety(-290)
        ball.dy *= -1

    # Border Left Right
    if ball.xcor() > 390:
        ball.setx(390)
        ball.dx *= -1
        score_a += 1
        pen.clear()
        pen.write("Player A: {} Player B: {}".format(score_a, score_b), align="center", font=("courier", 24, "normal"))

    if ball.xcor() < -390:
        ball.setx(-390)
        ball.dx *= -1
        score_b += 1
        pen.clear()
        pen.write("Player A: {} Player B: {}".format(score_a, score_b), align="center", font=("courier", 24, "normal"))
    # Paddle and ball collision
    if (ball.xcor() > 340 and ball.xcor() < 350) and (
            ball.ycor() < paddle_b.ycor() + 50 and ball.ycor() > paddle_b.ycor() - 50):
        ball.setx(340)
        ball.dx *= -1
    if (ball.xcor() < -340 and ball.xcor() > -350) and (
            ball.ycor() < paddle_a.ycor() + 50 and ball.ycor() > paddle_a.ycor() - 50):
        ball.setx(-340)
        ball.dx *= -1

Copy the code and run it yourself.

Enjoy your own Ping Pong Game!…
