My lovely Air Hockey
My inspiration came from every time I went to the mall of Egypt and play my favorite game "Air Hockey".
The project will be a game which is air hockey.
I think it will be a challenge for me to make something like this on my own but it is very interesting cause I love it.
We can say that is very common in many malls so I wonder if I can go through the experience and keep it closer.

2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
It is a game in which players attempt to knock a plastic disc into their opponent's goal across a specially designed table that produces a cushion of air to reduce friction.
There will be a screen that will count the goals and announce the winner in the end.
3- Sketch your project: You may use pen and paper or a simple sketching tool like Microsoft Paint or Photoshop

6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
Minimum Features: are the least amount of features that would demonstrate the coverage of all the technical modules and their complete integration
Complete Features: are the set of features that will complete your original project objective and vision
Nice-to-have Features: are the extra set of features that will make the project cooler, yet they need extra time, effort, and/or resources to finish
