Pong Block brings the classic arcade game to your WordPress site! This block lets users play a single-player game of Pong against a computer opponent, with full accessibility, responsive controls, and extensive customization.

  • Feature-rich inspector settings for difficulty (paddle size, ball speed, winning score).
  • Three accessible color schemes (Dark, Light, High Contrast) to ensure WCAG-compliant visuals.
  • Overlays for Start, Instructions, and Game Over with auto-focused controls for keyboard users.
  • Control paddle via keyboard arrows or big touch-friendly buttons.
  • Responsive game area and controls for desktop, tablet, or mobile.
  • Game and UI are fully localizable via WordPress translation functions.
  • No scripts unless the block is present—minimal frontend impact.
  1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/pong-block directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
Is Pong Block accessible?

Yes. Pong Block includes labeled overlays, screen reader support, keyboard navigation, and touch-friendly controls. Its color schemes meet WCAG 2.1 AA contrast standards, and all text is fully localizable.

Can I adjust difficulty?

Yes. Paddle size, ball speed, winning score, and color scheme are all adjustable in the block sidebar.

Is touch/mobile supported?

Yes. Large, comfortable on-screen controls are available for mobile and tablets.
