Variation of the Original Classic PONG game brought to Cody.Attempt to keep the ball alive against a Wall. The ball speeds up on every hit. When it is missed it restarts at a new location. The start locations and sequences are purely deterministic. Movement of the paddle are max up/down steps of -1 to 1 (effective delta 50) or no move. Partial paddle moves allowed.Paddle center is provided and paddle covers +/- 50 units.
The field is square at 1000 by 1000 with 3 walls and the lower left corner being (0,0)To aid in development of your routine, a PONG_Interactive_001a.m file that creates a solver script and video has been posted at <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/razapor/matlab_cody/PONG_Interactive_001a.m">PONG_Interactive_001a.m</a>.
