Volley

The problem

Volley is a polished Pong-style arcade game built with Python and Pygame CE.

What I built

Volley is a polished Pong-style arcade game built with Python and Pygame CE, with menus, AI difficulty tiers, rally survival, persistent settings, generated sound, visual feedback, and a PyInstaller build path.

How it works

• Main menu, mode select, difficulty select, countdown, pause, settings, controls, and game-over screens.
• 1-player vs AI, local 2-player, and rally survival modes.
• Rookie, Pro, and Legendary AI tiers with different reaction and prediction behavior.
• Sub-stepped swept collision, paddle clamps, speed cap, edge-influenced bounce angles, win-by-two scoring.
• Persistent settings and rally high scores through platformdirs.

Tradeoffs and limits
