About Spellball
Spellball is a variant of the Pong game in which each player controls a wizard and attempts to defeat the other player’s wizard. This is achieved by controlling a paddle and deflecting the ball onto the opponent’s wizard or side, with a hit to the opponent’s wizard doing more “damage”. Each player can place an enchantment on their wizard’s paddle, which will grant the ball one of two special effects when the ball hits the paddle: ice moves more slowly but does more damage, and lightning moves quickly but does less damage.

About the creation of the game
Spellball was created by Bryan Tan for one of the assignments in CMPTGCS 130H, the Video Game Design and Implementation course taught by Richert Wang, in Spring 2018. It uses Godot Engine as the game engine. The art assets were downloaded from OpenGameArt (the list of assets used is located within the game itself).
