Welcome to Coding Torque! Today, we are going to embark on an exciting journey of creating a classic Pong Game using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. This project will not only help you understand the fundamentals of HTML canvas but also give you a chance to explore the world of game development. So, let’s get started and create something amazing!
Before we start, here are some more apps using javascript you might like to create:
1.Ā Snake Game using JavaScript
2.Ā 2D Bouncing Ball Game using JavaScript
3.Ā Rock Paper Scissor Game using JavaScript
4.Ā Tic Tac Toe Game using JavaScript
5. Whack a Mole Game using JavaScript
I would recommend you don’t just copy and paste the code, just look at the code and type by understanding it.
