Game Components

The Pong game consists of the following components:

• Background
• Paddles

• Configure the Main Camera settings for a better view.

Step Two: The Paddles

• Add paddles to the scene.

• Write a script (PlayerControls.cs) for paddle movement.

Step Three: The Ball

• Add the ball to the scene.
• Configure ball properties and components (Circle Collider 2D and Rigidbody 2D).
• Create a physics material for the ball.
• Write a script (BallControl.cs) for ball movement and bouncing.

Step Four: The Walls

• Create wall objects to keep the ball in play.
• Configure wall properties and components (Box Collider 2D).
• Write a script (SideWalls.cs) to detect collisions with walls and score points.
