Description: CrazyPong is a fast paced pong like-game. The catch here to the game, is that, it's crazy. So crazy that it may not feel or look like a regular pong game. And it's just so crazy that you'll probably not understand the game completely unless with the few simple instructions I put in this README.

How to play?

Objective: The objective of the game is for you to be the last player/paddle standing and to kill off other players/paddles, if you can.

Positions of a player's paddle:

Player 1: Right side of screen. (Red.)
Player 2: Left side of screen. (Green.)
Player 3: Bottom side of screen. (Blue.)
Player 4: Top side of screen. (Yellow.)

Movements:

Controlling movements of a player's paddle is a bit different from a regular Pong game, so don't be confused. You control the direction of where the paddle moves and let the paddle move by itself in that direction you chose; you can change the direction at almost any time.

"Direction" keys:

Player 1: Up and down arrow keys.
Player 2: R and F keys.
Player 3: J and L keys.
Player 4: A and D keys.

Health:

A player dies if their paddle loses all of their health; they could lose their health in a numerous amount of ways. The filling color in a paddle represents the paddle's health. As an example, look closely at the program's icon (ignore the blue and red balls); the inner "red" part of the paddle is its health. If the health is filling up the paddle entirely, then the player's paddle has 100% health. In the picture, it shows the paddle roughly having a health of 60% (an estimated guess).



How do you lose health, you might say?

1) The main ball (a small blue ball that remains throughout the game) hits your players side and your paddle didn't bounce the ball back off; instead, the paddle's wall/side bounced the main ball back off.

2) The evil ball touches/hits your paddle. (A semi-big green/blackish ball that appears in the game every once in a while to kill off other players and then disappears, until the next time.)

3) The bazooka touches/hits your paddle. (A huge scary ball that a player must get themselves as an item to use against others. See the Items section.)

Items:

There are five items that a player's paddle can grab. To "grab" an item, you simply try to touch it/make your paddle hit it. If no paddle grabs an item in time, then it disappears until next time.

The items:

1) Health. If you get this item, your player's paddle's health increases. It looks like a red container.

2) Bazooka. If you get this item, the player's paddle that's on the opposite side of yours gets a bazooka ball shot directly at their side. It looks like a green container.

3) Big power-up. This makes your paddle bigger for a temporary amount of time. This looks like a container with a mixture of colors.

4) Small power-up. This makes your paddle smaller for a temporary amount of time. This looks like a container with a mixture of colors. (Same color container as the Big power-up, this is intentional. You either have bad luck or good luck, you pick.)

5) Inverse power-up. This makes the game more "inverse" in the way that it's more crazy, for a temporary amount of time of course. You'll have to try it to see what I mean. It looks like a blue container.

Game Loop

The game works in a some-what way of like this:

Start:
-The game starts. Players play. Main ball exists.

Loop:
1) The evil ball appears at a time of the game and disappears when it's done playing around.
2) An item appears.
3) If a player gets an item, the effect of the item lasts depending on the item, itself.

End:
-If a player's paddle wins, the game is over, otherwise this loop continues.

Hope this helps you to understand how to play the game and the approach of it now.
