Features: I've attempted all features in the rubric, although I had more success with some than others. I think the "AI" turned out better than I expected it to, even if it's very simple, it poses a challenge without being impossible. I found varying the ball on the paddle to be more difficult than I anticipated. It "works" but it wasn't really feeling right and I didn't really have the time or knowledge to make it closer to what I wanted. I choose to go with a kinematic version after quickly abandoning Unity physics when it wasn't exactly how I wanted it (says a lot more about me than Unity physics). I wish I had given myself (or frankly had) more time to make it better, but I think it turned out quite well. Given another chance I'd probably try to make it prettier and sound better and that'll be a goal with my next project.
