Author:

Cody Freeman This class is an AI for Pong, which due to simplicity is more or less a matter of tracking the ball's position when it is coming towards the paddle and remembering where the ball tends to approach when the ball is going away from the AI. If friction is applied to the ball and paddle, then an A* algorithm may be implemented to find the best angle and velocity to use to move the ball the greatest distance from the human at the greatest speed.
