Pong Game with Socket Communication

This is a simple Pong game implemented in Python using Pygame, with support for two players over a network using socket communication. One PC acts as the server, and another PC acts as the client. The server controls player 1, while the client controls player 2.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Pygame
• Socket module (comes with Python)

Installation

1. Install Pygame if you haven't already:

   pip install pygame

2. Download the server and client Python scripts.

How to Run

1. Server (Player 1)

Run the server on one PC. This will allow you to control Player 1 using the W and S keys.

python server.py

2. Client (Player 2)

On the second PC, run the client to connect to the server. You will need to enter the server's IP address. Player 2 can be controlled using the arrow keys.

python client.py

Game Controls

• Player 1 (Server): Use W (up) and S (down) keys to move the paddle.
• Player 2 (Client): Use the arrow keys to move the paddle.

Winning Condition

The first player to reach 10 points wins the game. Once a player wins, the game will display the winner and automatically close after 3 seconds.
