Table Tennis

Table Tennis is Pong with two human players: P1 controls the left paddle with W and S, P2 controls the right paddle with the up and down arrows, and the first player to eleven points wins.

The ball accelerates with every paddle hit, and the angle depends on where it strikes the paddle. Edge hits produce sharp returns; centre hits keep the ball flat. That difference is the whole game.

On touch devices, each player drags on their own half of the table. Space serves when the ball is waiting.

How to play Table Tennis

• P1 moves with W / S; P2 moves with ↑ / ↓.
• Return the ball before it passes your side of the table.
• Hit with the paddle edge to change the angle.
• First to eleven points wins the match.

Tips & strategy

Table Tennis is angle control under speed. The paddle is a aiming tool, not just a wall.

• Hit with the edge of the paddle to send the ball away at a sharp angle.
• Return deep rather than flat; a steep return gives you time to recover to the centre.
• Move back to the middle between shots. Camping on one edge leaves the other side open.
• Watch your opponent's paddle, not the ball; it tells you where the return is going.
• Serve softly to start a rally you can read, then increase pace once you find a rhythm.
• At match point, prioritise safe returns over winners — a mistake ends the game.
