Hi guys, a new tutorial for you all. Unlike my previous tutorials that have shown you how to do little things, like health bars, guessing games, a forest, etc. This tutorial will guide you through making a fully working, complete version of Pong.

This tutorial covers:

Going Over the Conept
Breaking the game down into goals
Analysing variables
Demonstrating the logic processes
Drawing the background
Drawing the Ball and Pads
Player Controls
Computer AI
Humanizing the Computer AI
Collision Detection and Reaction
Ball Speed Increase
Allowing the player to manipulate the ball's angle
Setting Game Conditions
Resetting Sets
Randomizing the serve
Adding Sounds

The total tutorial is about 2 hours long. All video's are in HD format (1280x720) so the text is crystal clear. The source code is provided on the post. To access this tutorial you can either:

The website includes the full source code to the project so you won't have to copy it all off the screen as you have with previous tutorials.

EDIT:oes the tuts for sale contain 3D and 2D tutorials that can get me started?

Thank you so much. I was looking at buying Hands on DBpro but I learn much faster through visual. And you popped up. Maybe there is a god?...
