P2P Pong Game

Overview

P2P Pong is a networked version of the classic Pong game, developed as part of a Computer Networks project. It allows players to host or join game rooms using a peer-to-peer (P2P) connection, eliminating the need for a central server. The game uses UDP broadcasting for room discovery and real-time data synchronization to ensure smooth gameplay.

Features

• Peer-to-Peer Networking: Direct communication between players without a central server.
• Room Discovery: Players can find and join available game rooms via UDP broadcasting.
• Smooth Gameplay: Real-time ball physics, paddle movement, and network interpolation for lag compensation.
• Dynamic Resolution Scaling: Game adapts to different screen sizes.
