How do people approacht eh AI for pong? I norammly just go for if ball_y > pad_y then pad_y = pad_y + 1 etc, etc... But this always looks really robotic.

You need to calculate the trajectory of the ball.

the ball's trajectory is linear, so you just make it follow the y of the ball...pretty simple.

That's pretty much it, except you can make it more fluid it ramp up the acceleration slightly when changing directions... Start slowly, then keep accelerating slightly until you hit the max speed.

nice idea, I normally use accelration for player controlled objects, never really think about it for CPU controlled things. I guess to make it easier, you just reduce the reaction speed of the CPU player or the acceleration of his paddle.

Update: Everything packed into one single file, save to disk. New screenshots.

Does anyone notice how many Pong games have been
made lately?
I just made one,Cp just made one, And now Tjompen
has one.

Jazzy Graphics by the way, looks cool.
