Pong Publishing in Girls.Code!

Another published project from our Girls.Coders – a PyCharm Ping Pong game!

Python’s turtle module, which allows student to code their own graphics (the default graphic being a turtle, hence the name), is perfect for building cool games with code and nothing but code. Girls.Coders modified the default turtle shape into paddles and a ball, and besides coding the movement and game controls, even made a live-updating score system that tracks every round of game play! Lastly, our intrepid girls and instructor Rebecca test-drove Repl.It, a collaborative code editor, in order to set up and publish their Pong games. Kudos, Girls.Coders. We look forward to seeing what you make next!
