LED Pong brings the classic arcade game to a 64x32 RGB LED matrix controlled over WiFi by an ESP8266 and the Blynk mobile app.

You move each paddle in real-time with a slider in the app while scores update in value display widgets. The code also handles realistic ball physics with angled bounces and a win at ten points, all of which are editable.

To set up create a Blynk project, add two sliders on virtual pins V13 and V14 with a value range from 25 down to 1 and leave “send on release only” off. Then add two value displays on V15 and V16 to show each player’s score. Hook up your LED matrix following Brian Lough’s LED Matrix guide, fill in the necessary credentials, upload the sketch and launch the Blynk app to start playing.

Happy Ponging!
