Hi! University student here with a small project

Posted by IncredibleLego@reddit | learnprogramming | View on Reddit | 2 comments

Hi there! I'm a university student in my third year. I've studied Go and a bit of Java in Uni and wanted to make a small project to challenge myself and start somewhere. I made a modified Pong clone (how original I know) in Golang using the graphic library Ebitengine and I just relased it on my GitHub. I appreciate all suggestions and feedback, I'm here to learn everything that I can

Nice first project, especially because you actually shipped something in Go instead of only doing exercises.

If you want the next version to teach you more, I’d add things that force structure rather than just more gameplay: a small config file for controls/speed, a simple menu/state system, and maybe a tiny replay or score history saved locally. Those are boring features, but they make you separate game loop, input, rendering, and persistence instead of keeping everything in one blob.

Also add a GIF or screenshot to the README. People are much more likely to try a game repo when they can see it in 3 seconds.

Thanks for your time! Thanks for the suggestions I will try them
