Example Code

Overview

This example is a simple implementation of the classic game Pong. The user interface consists of an array of LEDs and a keyboard to control the position of the paddle.

Description

This example is a simple implementation of the classic game Pong. The game works on main principle that the ball has four attributes, x position, y position, x velocity and y velocity. You can move the ball with this pseudocode:

Ball x position = Ball x position + ball x velocity

Ball y position = Ball y position + ball y velocity

When the ball reaches a boundary or paddle, you can bounce the ball by changing its direction.

Ball x velocity = - Ball x velocity

Ball y velocity = - Ball y velocity

Requirements

• LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Open Pong Game.lvproj
2. Run MAIN game.vi
3. Click run.
4. Use the keyboard to move the paddles. Press A and D to move the player 1 paddle and LEFT and RIGHT to move player 2 paddle.
