Synchronize Pong to Music with Song Pong

When flowingdata shared Victor Tao’s Super Mario Bros Song Pong we knew we had to share the Song Pong project with you:

Lately I’ve been experimenting with music visualizers. One of my favorites is inspired by the classic arcade game pong. In classic pong a ball bounces off of paddles in a steady rhythm. What if we synchronize the bounces to the beat of a song, making the paddles dance?

To make this possible we alter the physics of the game so that the ball moves at a constant speed, and paddles can move anywhere on their respective halves of the screen.

Try your hand at making your own visualizer in the Adafruit Learning System:
