Gesture-Controlled Pong Game

This repository contains a Gesture-Based Pong Game developed using Python, Pygame, and MediaPipe. The game allows players to control the paddle in a Pong-like game using hand movements detected by a webcam, providing an immersive hands-free gaming experience.

Features

• Gesture-Based Control: Move the paddle by waving your hand in front of the webcam.
• Ball Movement and Collision: Ball bounces off the walls and paddle, with score tracking.
• Game Over Screen: When lives are lost, a "Game Over" message is displayed with options to restart or quit the game.
• Audio Feedback: Voice notifications for game states like "Start Game", "Restarting Game", and "Game Over".
• Difficulty Levels: The ball speed increases as you score points.

Technologies Used

• Pygame: For game development and rendering.
• OpenCV: For accessing the webcam and capturing real-time images.
• MediaPipe: For hand detection and gesture recognition.
• Pyttsx3: For generating audio feedback (text-to-speech).
