Setup Details:

1. To Build this game we used lua language similar to javascript manual
2. Framework used is named LÖVE

   LÖVE is an awesome framework you can use to make 2D games in Lua. It's free, open-source, and works on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Android and iOS. Link to Download Docs

step-by-step guide will help to build pong game

0. Display Text: Starting of game building with displaying a text in center of screen.
1. Low resolution: Display text in low resolution using push library.
2. Adding Rectangles: For pong game adding rectangle paddles on screen.
3. Moving Paddles: Using dt - the most common shorthand for delta-time.
4. Add Velocity to Ball: Using - math.randomseed(), os.time(), etc. And Starting game on keyPressed.
5. Updating Code with OOPS!
6. FPS Update: Frames Per Second, using love.window.setTitle(), love.timer.getFPS()
7. Collision Detection: based on "axis-aligned bounding boxes"
8. Adding Scoring
9. Assigning Service to player after scoring
10. Victory Updates for a player
11. Adding Audio for scoring, ball hitting paddle or wall, using bfxr.net.
12. Reszing Game window with push library, love.resize(width, height), push:resize

Few operands differnt in lua:

1. concatenation (..) operation
2. status == nil, kid of null
3. a == b and 1 or 2 (kind of ternary a==b ? true : false )
