153B Final Project - Pong

The goal of this project is to implement the classic game of Pong, a table-tennis themed arcade game. The player moves a paddle to stop the ball from hitting their respective wall, while also trying to get the ball to hit the opponent's wall. This version of pong will be single-player, thus I will implement a basic AI that simply follows the ball. The player controls the paddle using the joystick of the Wii Nunchuk, and I will also use the extra buttons on the Wii Nunchuk to implement pause and restart game functionalities. The resulting game will be drawn on a LCD screen.
