A simple pong game built using C++ and Raylib. The game features a paddle controlled by the player, a bouncing ball, and a lives system. The goal is to keep the ball from falling off the screen while increasing your score.

Paddle Bounce challenges players to control a paddle at the bottom of the screen, bouncing a ball to keep it in play. The goal is to maintain control, avoid missing the ball, and rack up points by bouncing it off the paddle. Players have a limited number of lives, and the game ends when all lives are lost.

• Use the left (←) and right (→) arrow keys to move the paddle.
• The ball bounces off the paddle and walls, but if it falls below the screen, you lose a life.
• The game tracks your score and lives, displaying them in real time.
• The ball changes color when it bounces off the paddle.
• The game ends when you run out of lives.

• Paddle Control: Move left and right to hit the ball.
• Dynamic Ball Physics: Ball bounces off walls, ceiling, and paddle.
• Score System: Gain points for successful paddle hits.
• Life System: Lose a life when the ball touches the bottom.
• Color Switching: Paddle hits change the background color.
• Screen Wrapping: Paddle re-enters from the opposite side if it moves beyond the screen boundaries.
• Power-Up System: Collect power-ups that spawn randomly to enhance gameplay. Power-ups can provide effects such as:
  • Larger Paddle: increases the paddle’s width for easier ball control.
  • Extra Life: Grants an additional life to extend gameplay.

The game follows an object-oriented design and includes the following classes:

• C++ Compiler (GCC, Clang, MSVC)
• Raylib installed (https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/releases)

• Add difficulty levels (ball speed increases over time).
• Implement a pause menu and restart option.
• Add sound effects for collisions.
• Introduce power-ups (e.g., bigger paddle, slow-motion).
