Quick Answer
Move your paddle up and down to hit the ball past your opponent. Score points when the ball passes the other paddle. First to the target score wins.
Detailed Answer
Pong is the original video game and incredibly simple to play. You control a paddle on one side of the screen. Use the up and down arrow keys (or W/S keys for player 2) to move your paddle vertically. The ball bounces off the top and bottom walls. Hit the ball with your paddle to send it toward your opponent. If the ball passes your opponent's paddle, you score a point. Angle your shots by hitting the ball with different parts of your paddle for strategic advantage.
