Pong is a table tennis–themed arcade sports video game, featuring simple two-dimensional graphics, manufactured by Atari and originally released in 1972. It was one of the earliest arcade video games; it was created by Allan Alcorn as a training exercise and I created this replica for the same reason.
Pong was the first commercially successful video game, and it helped to establish the video game industry along with the Magnavox Odyssey. Soon after its release, several companies began producing games that closely mimicked its gameplay. Eventually, Atari's competitors released new types of video games that deviated from Pong's original format to varying degrees, and this, in turn, led Atari to encourage its staff to move beyond Pong and produce more innovative games themselves.

There's currently only one type of game: Player vs Player - best out of three.
When the game is over, press return (or button zero on a controller) to reset.
Player 1 can control the paddle using W (up) and S (down) and Player 2 can use Up and down arrows. Those controls are also mapped to joysticks 1 and 2.
