General

This project was implemented as an assignment for the Simulation and Distributed Software module of my MSc in the University of Hull. The key focus was on physics, threads and networking. Being a table tennis enthusiast myself I was excited by having the chance to create a table tennis game that would suit my needs as a player. It was an excellent learning experience on all three key subjects and in the end of it all I had this nice demo to show and (mainly) play with :)
