No build required if you use the pre-compiled version, you only need Java installed to run it.
PingPong is a classic arcade-style table tennis game built in Java. It lets you play the familiar paddle-and-ball game right on your computer, either solo against an AI opponent or with a friend sharing the same keyboard. The game is flexible and easy to control. By default, it starts in a two-player mode where one person uses the arrow keys and the other uses the W and S keys to move their paddles up and down. If you are by yourself, you can press a key to switch the second player to a computer-controlled opponent with three different difficulty levels. You can also adjust the ball's speed mid-game, restart at any time, or even let two computer players play against each other in a simulation mode. This project would appeal to someone looking for a quick, nostalgic game to play during a break, or a beginner programmer who wants to study how a simple game works in Java. Because it includes a pre-compiled version, you do not even need to build it from scratch, you can just download it and run it as long as you have Java installed on your computer. For those who do want to dig into the code, it is written in Java and can be compiled using standard Java tools. The developer encourages people to report any bugs or contribute to the project, making it a friendly starting point for anyone interested in open-source collaboration.
