Planning the Pong game

In the last project we laid out all the method declarations and most of the method calls right at the start of the project.

While we will have some methods with identical or very similar roles in this project compared to the last, we will need to learn some completely new concepts, in this chapter and the next, before we can reasonably expect to code the outline. If we attempted to, we would just end up deleting and rewriting much of the outline. I hope the detailed discussion we will have will serve as a sufficient introduction and that you will enjoy watching the project evolve over four chapters.

Tip

Once this project is complete it will serve as a template for all the remaining projects and more thorough up-front preparation will be practical.
