+# pong
+
+Pong in C and SDL2 — two paddles, a ball, the whole game. There are two versions of it sitting side by side: `pong.c` is the first cut, and `game.c` is a cleaned-up revision that actually keeps score (`pong.c`'s scoring is stubbed out in comments) and eases up on how aggressively the ball speeds up on each bounce (1.1x per hit in `game.c` versus a much twitchier 1.5x in `pong.c`, which gets out of hand fast). `game.c` is the one worth running; `pong.c` is left in as the earlier draft.
+
+## Controls
+
+- Player 1: `W`/`S`
+- Player 2: `I`/`K`
+
+## Building
+
+Needs SDL2 (and SDL2_ttf for `game.c`, unused at the moment but linked).
+
+```sh
+cc game.c -lSDL2 -lSDL2_ttf -o pong
+./pong
+```
