Treehouse Guest TeacherForum Contest: Build a Pong Game for iOS
UPDATE: This contest has ended
After you've watched the video, please read the details below carefully. I'm looking forward to your entries!
How to Enter: Create a Pong iOS game preferably using SpriteKit. Here's a refresher for how the game works. The game is a one player game and the other player is the computer. Create a GitHub repository and paste a link to it in the comments.
Due Date: All entries must be submitted by September 1st at 11:45pm EST. Here's a timezone chart so you can see what time that is for your locale.
Prize: The entries will be judged by Treehouse teachers based on design and code. One winner will receive a free month of Treehouse Pro on us! :) We'll announce the winner on September 2nd and reveal the next contest.

14,665 PointsThanks Amit! I had a lot of fun working at this app, I'm going to submit it to the App Store after I add GameCenter with real-time multiplayer! And I'll be sure to post a link to it here once it gets approved and is available! I think everyone did a fantastic job and we all have another addition to our portfolio :)

Treehouse Guest TeacherIt is always difficult to judge these contests because all of you do such an amazing job.
This week's winner is Ryan Ackermann for his Pong game, which had a nice retro design, sound and make good use of Sprite Kit. Congratulations Ryan you win a free month of Pro!
The next contest is a Ping Pong scoring app. I guess we really love Pong at Treehouse :)
