this is a simple game made using pygame that is controlled by a joystick that is connected to arduino uno micro-controller.

In this game, you are controlling a player that is moving up and down across the screen, then you have to move the player so that a moving ball hits the player, that causes the ball to bounce back.

The objective is prevent the ball from getting past your player.

to get started, make sure you have python installed in your system and then clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/Aurumdev952/joystick_game

install dependencies

cd joystick_game
pip install pygame pyserial

after that, make sure you have arduino uno micro-controller and a joystick module connect them according to this scheme

after that, upload the code in joystick_game.ino and make sure to modify the PORT constant in PONG-GAME.py according to the serial port you have connected to.

to run the game, use:

python PONG_GAME.py

different joysticks may give different values for resting positions which may lead to wierd behaviours, to fix this open the Serial monitor and check the values being outputed, then check the second value when the joystick is in resting position, then go into PONG_GAME.py and modify the BASE constant to the value you found. That should fix that issue.
