Welcome to **Pong AI** — a modern, crisp take on the classic Pong game with responsive visuals, smooth controls, and a cheeky AI opponent that loves a good rematch. This repo is perfect for anyone who wants a quick browser game, a demo for frontend skills, or a fun time-waster. 🎉

* 📱 **Mobile friendly** — touch controls supported
* 🖥️ **HiDPI / responsive canvas** for crisp graphics on all screens
* 🔊 Tiny built-in sound effects using WebAudio (no assets)

## 💡 Why play this one?
This version of Pong adds subtle modern touches: a glowing center, rounded paddles, improved collision physics (so your hits feel *real*), a smarter but fair AI, and keyboard/touch support so you can challenge it anywhere.

## 🛠️ Run Locally
Want to tinker? Here's how:
```bash
# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/Tharindu714/pongai.com.git
cd pongai.com
# Option A — quick open (works in most browsers):
# open index.html in your browser
# Option B — run a simple HTTP server (recommended for audio & modules):
# Python 3
python -m http.server 8000
# then visit http://localhost:8000
```
If you prefer TypeScript development, `game.ts` is provided — compile with `tsc game.ts --outFile game.js` or use your preferred bundler (Vite/Parcel/webpack).
