Hand in:

Place all of your source code files ( .java files ) into a single file, compress that file into a zip with the title "yourFirstNameYourLastNamehwkX.zip" (for example, RobertSchwellerhwk8.zip), and send this zip file to me as an email attachment. The subject of the email must be:

Make a simple "Pong" game. Pong is a game in which two players hit a ball back and forth and try to score a goal by hitting the ball past the opponent. A simple (and ugly) example can be seen here:

You may make the opponent computer controlled, but at least one of the players should be human controlled either by mouse or keyboard. Bonus points may be awarded for particularly cool features added to your game (gravity, multiple balls, buttons to turn cool features on or off). If you don't want to make a pong game, you may make a different game that somehow involves a bouncing ball and a paddle.

As with all assignments, your code must be your own and not taken from another student or from anywhere else.
