Nice and Simple code. Just one feedback. Please update all the lines having / to // as python 3 does not give back Integer with normal division symbol if the variables being used are not integer. hence creating a Type Error. for example:

ball_pos = [WIDTH/2,HEIGHT/2] to ball_pos = [WIDTH//2,HEIGHT//2]

Otherwise users will get TypeError: integer argument expected, got float
Rest is perfect.

yeah can someone please help I have the same issue as above and idk how to fix this of..

@Actonwarrior, @BrandedAlok, see the first comment about replacing '/' lines with '//' throughout the code. I had to change those on about about 6 or 8 lines to make the game run.

I forked a version and modify it to Python 3
https://github.com/hamdyaea/Daylight-Pong-python3

mine is fine but how do you control the other person's one

how do you make the ball go faster?

How to make pong such that the 2nd player can control it from another network.

KhushThePatel you use z and s

Its good but we might need the introduction of some machine learning so the computer does something aswell

Worked like a charm! Or should I say PyCharm?! >:-}
