This is a version of Pong that synchronizes the bounces with a song. You are free to use this code for any purpose, I only ask that you link back to this repo.
## Basic Usage
1. Install the required dependencies:
```
pip install pygame numpy cvxpy mido
```
Alternatively, you can use `uv` to install the dependencies:
```
pip install uv
```
2. Run the game with a MIDI file:
```
curl -o example_midi.mid https://bitmidi.com/uploads/72257.mid # download a MIDI file
python pong.py example_midi.mid
```
Or using `uv run`:
```
uv run pong.py example_midi.mid
```
3. For non-MIDI audio files, you need to provide a JSON file with note timings:
```
python pong.py path/to/your/audio_file.mp3 --times_file path/to/your/times.json
```
Or using `uv run`:
```
uv run pong.py path/to/your/audio_file.mp3 --times_file path/to/your/times.json
```
The JSON file should contain a list of times (in seconds) when the ball should hit a paddle.
