Remember that table tennis themed arcade game Pong, back in like 1970s? Try building a basic version of that, if you've already built mini tennis then this is basically mini tennis with two people. It'll be a little more challenging as you'll have to allow for two controls for two human players but also allow for player vs computer.  

# Introduction
Develop a 2D game in either java, python, c++ or any other language that you are comfortable with making games in, this game will be a basic clone of Pong. There will be a need for two paddles on either side of the game, one on the West side and one on the East, each paddle will defend itself against a ball. This ball will random start from the middle and shoot off to either side randomly and the player will need to ping it back with the objective of hitting the other sides wall. Each time a player hits the opponents wall, that player will earn a point, have the game go to a best of 5 or give options to choose how many points to go up to. Also allow single mode gameplay, where you can play against a computer and potentially varying difficulty levels.

## Requirements
* Use a programming language, can be any of the recommended ones, or one of your preference
* Allow two players (paddles), with one to the West side of the game and the other on the East
* Add a ball for the player to hit with their paddle
* Allow for a scoring system between each player, which increments based on the opponent hitting the ball on the other side

## Optional Requirements
* Allow for single player mode, where it's a human vs computer and a hiscore system
* Create multiplayer mode over the internet
* Add skins and theming system for different backgrounds, paddles and balls.
