Using an Arduino with Python LESSON 18: 3D Pong Game With Arduino and vPython

We create a 3D version of the classic arcade game of Pong. We have a joystick connected to the arduino, which passes data to vPython. Then we move a game paddle with the joystick. We are using the joystick in your Elegoo Super Starter Kit. If you do not have your kit yet, you can pick it up at the link below (affiliate link):

With this kit, we will will both be working on the same hardware which will make your life and my life easier.

Paul, like a blast from the past, reliving my youth right now. You're using python and Arduino, I used basic and a Commodore PET 2001 back in the early 80's. Thanks for another great tutorial!

Sorry for missing live strean.


This was wounderfull to be a developer of your own game.

Thank you sir for this great content which no one teach without charging except you in this whole world.

Thanks Paul! I'm still here and your explanation of Z-Motion helped me visualize the 3D environment.

Thanks Paul I really enjoyed this lesson. Its brilliant to be honest what you are teaching. So excited to see your lessons on Fusion.

Hi Paul, once again, thanks. I learned a lot (as usual) from this lesson and can't wait to move on to the AI course.

Sometimes my program will run fine and sometimes it will not start; nevertheless, I loved the lesson. Thank you for these great lessons!

Pls advise me what kind of Microsoft I used to buy to be successfully bcs my goals is to be great in all tutorials that you have done you before I used to be called Legend.

Thank you Paul for another great lesson. This series was most enjoyable. I can see it's relevance and applicability in the work environment. This is really useful stuff. I spent a little extra time on this project getting my paddle to look like a ping pong paddle. Here is my homework solution!

[sunilkulkarni]

Paul just a general question, what motivates you to enjoy life in africa ? You make tech videos and it becomes very easy to do in the USA..but you sacrificed all the privileges...

[alonb]

It was really fun to work on that project
