Today in this article I will show you how to make a Pong game in Java. I have made three classes in this game.
Introduction
This is a two-player game in which players need to touch the ball with the paddle if the ball will not touch the paddle then the other player will get numbers and vice versa.
- The Main class from which all things are controled.
- Ball class that draws the ball and also check its collision with the paddles.
- Paddle class that draws the paddles and also move the paddles up and down.

Main Class
public class Ball implements Runnable
{
//Global variable
int x,y,xDirection,yDirection;
Rectangle ball;
Paddle p1=new Paddle(15,140,1);//paddle class objects
Paddle p2=new Paddle(770,140,2);
//Score
int p1Score,p2Score;
//Ball Image
Image BallImage;
public Ball(int x,int y)
{
p1Score=p2Score=0;
this.x=x;
this.y=y;
Random r=new Random();//creats Random numbers
int rDir=r.nextInt(1);
if(rDir==0)
{
rDir--;
}
setXDirection (rDir);
int yrDir=r.nextInt(1);
if(yrDir==0)
{
yrDir--;
}
setYDirection (yrDir);
ball=new Rectangle(this.x,this.y , 15,15);
}
//for set the xDirection of the ball
public void setXDirection(int xdir)
{
xDirection=xdir;
}
//for set the yDirection of the ball

}
//Collision method

}
I have also attached the source code and JAR file with it. So you can download it and run it on your PC.
