Meredith and Lauren's Pong Game

How to play:

• First set the speed using the slider. 1 will set it the slowest, 4 the fastest, and the ball will not move at all if the setting is 0. We recommend that you use 1. If you're brave enough and want a challenge, go ahead and try 2 (it is not impossible).
• Get acquainted with the "paddle up" and "paddle down" buttons. They control the yellow and purple paddles. If you have the paddles move all the way down or all the way up, they will wrap around, but the expert player will use this to her advantage.
• Once you're ready to start, click the "set up game" button to create the ball and then click the "ball" button.
• The ball will start with a random heading. If it goes towards the top or bottom pink wall, it will bounce off at a random angle, or possibly pass through the wall.
• If the ball heads towards the left or right blue wall, move the appropriate paddle so that the ball will come in contact with the paddle.
• If the ball hits the paddle, it will bounce back off in a random direction.
• If the ball does not hit the paddle, it will die, and the game is over.
• To restart the game, click the "ball" button, which will still be down. Then click the "set up game" button and the "ball" button again. The game is now restarted.
• If something happens and you want to clear everything and start the way it was in the beginning, type "paddles" into the observer command.
