An online pong game created using Pygame and sockets.
The server holds both players, the ball and the game score (in order to keep the game synced between the two players as connection problems and lags can create different game states).
in each frame of the game, each client sends it's own player to the server for updating it's instance server-side and receives the opponent, the ball and the current score.
NOTE: The server only sends the different game objects information while the rendering is taking place at the client-side.
- Make sure that the Pygame library is installed (if not,
pip install pygame)) - In
game_settings.py, make sure thatHOSTis referring to the correct server IP address (in case both players are from the same machine, no need to change any settings as the default server host is the same IP address as the client) - Run
server.py - Run main.py for each player
