Interactive Pong
Create a pong game with real-time editing.
Interactive Pong allows you to edit the game in real-time, so you can modify its states while the game is running. Here are videos below showing this. Interactive Pong is very easy to use, and provides multiple functions that allow you to manipulate the game.
Interactive Pong lets you edit all the game-states in real time. If you want the paddles to move left and right you can, make the ball spin in circles sure. Add gravity to the game sure. You can basically edit all the states.
Example Usage
Edit screen size in real time
here is the code for that.
heartbeatConnection = runService.Heartbeat:Connect(function(deltaTime)
Pong:SetScreenSize(InteractivePong:GetScreenSizeFromSurfaceGui(surfaceGui))
Pong:UpdatePaddleXPositions()
-- rest code here
end)
You can change the paddle size in real time
Here is the code for the paddle size going up everytime its hit
Pong.Ball.OnCollided:Connect(function(collisionData)
local hit = collisionData.Hit
if hit.IsPlayer then
-- you can play sounds when it hits player
hit.Size += Vector2.yAxis * 15
elseif hit.IsBorder then
-- play more sounds idk?
end
end)
You can change the ball size in real time
Here is the code for multiplying ball size
Pong.Ball.OnCollided:Connect(function()
Pong.Ball.Size *= 1.5
end)
Example Code (In Place Download):
-- get services
local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
local userInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
-- get Interactive Pong
local InteractivePong = require(script:WaitForChild("InteractivePong"))
-- get screen part stuff
local screenPart = workspace:WaitForChild("ScreenPart")
local surfaceGui = screenPart:WaitForChild("SurfaceGui")
local screenFrame = surfaceGui:WaitForChild("Screen")
-- Create the Pong game
local Pong = InteractivePong.new{
ScreenSize = InteractivePong:GetScreenSizeFromSurfaceGui(surfaceGui), -- Set Screen size to match our gui
PaddleSize = InteractivePong:GetPaddleSizeFromFrame(screenFrame.Player1), -- Set Paddle size to match our paddle frame
BallSize = InteractivePong:GetBallSizeFromFrame(screenFrame.Ball) -- Set ball size to match our ball frame
}
function ProcessInput()
-- Since theres only one player to test we will just control both paddles
-- player1 input Q and E for up and down
if userInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.Q) then
Pong.Players[1]:MoveUp()
end; if userInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.E) then
Pong.Players[1]:MoveDown()
end
-- player2 input Q and E for up and down
if userInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.Q) then
Pong.Players[2]:MoveUp()
end; if userInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.E) then
Pong.Players[2]:MoveDown()
end
end
function UpdateGui()
-- set player1's paddle size and position
screenFrame.Player1.Position = Pong.Players[1]:GetUDim2Position()
screenFrame.Player1.Size = Pong.Players[1]:GetUDim2Size()
-- set player2's paddle size and position
screenFrame.Player2.Position = Pong.Players[2]:GetUDim2Position()
screenFrame.Player2.Size = Pong.Players[2]:GetUDim2Size()
-- set the ball's size and position
screenFrame.Ball.Position = Pong.Ball:GetUDim2Position()
screenFrame.Ball.Size = Pong.Ball:GetUDim2Size()
end
-- start game using heartbeat, to run every frame
local heartbeatConnection
function StartGame()
heartbeatConnection = runService.Heartbeat:Connect(function(deltaTime)
ProcessInput() -- process input
Pong:Step(deltaTime) -- update the game
UpdateGui() -- update visuals/gui
end)
end
function EndGame()
heartbeatConnection:Disconnect() -- disconnect the game heartbeat
task.wait(1) -- wait 1 second so they can see they lost
Pong:Reset() -- reset the game state
UpdateGui() -- update gui to show reset
task.wait(1) -- wait 1 second before game starts
StartGame() -- start the game
end
Pong.Ball.OnCollided:Connect(function(collisionData)
local hit = collisionData.Hit
if hit.IsPlayer then
-- you can play sounds when it hits player
elseif hit.IsBorder then
-- play more sounds idk?
end
end)
Pong.Ended:Connect(EndGame) -- once the game has ended (touched the wall) call the function
StartGame() -- start the game first
