Assessment - Game

I've changed my mind. I am going to do the racing game now instead of pong !
I know, that its set me back a little but if i work hard next week, ill get i done.

Assessment - Game

I orignally thought about making a role play, but i have changed my mind and have decided to do a game instead. My game that i have chosen to do is Pong. Yes bong seems to be easy and for people who have two lessons remaining - i have two weeks about 5 lessons remaining. I'm trying to make it a little harder but possible to do as well.
Hopefully I'll be finished the last lesson next week :D
