Create The Code Game Project Title:
Responsive and Stylish Ping Pong Game with Dual Modes

Objective:
Develop a feature-rich Ping Pong game using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript that offers two modes of play: single-player (against the computer) and multiplayer (against a friend). The game should present a challenging experience with fast-moving ball mechanics and an attractive, modern design.

Key Features & Requirements:

Game Modes:
Single Player (Play with Computer):
Implement AI with adjustable difficulty levels (e.g., Easy, Medium, Hard) to cater to different player skill sets.
AI should exhibit realistic paddle movement and challenge the player effectively at higher difficulties.
Multiplayer (Play with Friend):
Enable two-player mode on the same device, allowing friends to compete against each other.
Provide intuitive controls for both players to ensure smooth gameplay.
Gameplay Mechanics:
Ball Movement:
Design the ball to move at a high speed, increasing the game's difficulty.
Ensure realistic physics for ball movement, including angle changes upon paddle collisions and wall bounces.
Paddle Controls:
For single-player:
Player controls using keyboard arrows (e.g., Up and Down keys) or alternative input methods for responsiveness.
For multiplayer:
Assign distinct control keys for each player (e.g., Player 1: W/S keys, Player 2: Up/Down arrow keys).
Implement smooth and lag-free paddle movements.
Scoring System:
Display real-time scores for both players.
Define winning conditions (e.g., first to 11 points with a 2-point lead).
Include sound or visual indicators upon scoring.
User Interface & Design:
Visual Style:
Create an attractive and modern aesthetic with vibrant colors and smooth animations.
Design visually appealing paddles, ball, and background that enhance the gaming experience.
Responsive Design:
Ensure the game is fully responsive and functions seamlessly across various devices and screen sizes, including desktops, tablets, and smartphones.
Menus & Navigation:
Develop a main menu with options to select game mode (Single Player or Multiplayer), adjust settings, and view instructions.
Include in-game menus for pausing, restarting, or exiting the game.
Animations & Effects:
Add subtle animations for paddle movements, ball trajectory, and scoring.
Incorporate visual effects for collisions and background elements to enhance engagement.
Audio Elements:
Integrate sound effects for:
Ball hitting the paddles or walls.
Scoring points.
Game start and end notifications.
Provide an option to toggle sound on/off within the settings.
Technical Specifications:
Code Structure:
Write clean, well-organized, and commented HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code to ensure maintainability and scalability.
Utilize modern JavaScript practices and ES6+ features where appropriate.
Performance Optimization:
Optimize for smooth performance with minimal latency, ensuring quick response to user inputs.
Ensure efficient rendering and animation techniques to maintain high frame rates.
Compatibility:
Ensure cross-browser compatibility, supporting the latest versions of major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).
Additional Features (Optional for Enhanced Experience):
Leaderboard:
Implement a local leaderboard to track high scores or fastest matches.
Customization:
Allow players to customize paddle colors or themes.
Power-ups:
Introduce occasional power-ups that can affect ball speed, paddle size, or other gameplay elements for added variety.
