I watched on youtube the video “Learn Python by building games” and there I watched how to make the Pong Game. It was a very good tutorial, nevertheless, it did not explain how to move the paddles at the same time. In reality, that means a player can block the move of another and thereby increase his/her score.
I will leave the code of the game here. I would appreciate any help.
