The start of the Classics Series: Classic Pong

For the sake of learning and game dev practice, I'm embarking on a new journey: The Classics Series. I will be recreating the 9 classic games that defined 2D gaming (to the best of my abilities) in order: 

1. Pong
2. Breakout
3. Asteroids
4. Galaga
5. Frogger
6. Boulderdash
7. Pac-man
8. Gauntlet
9. Super Mario Bros.

I don't believe I'll recreate them thoroughly, especially the larger ones. But instead, I'll recreate a level or two to get the gameplay across. The purpose of course is learning: I already learned a lot remaking Pong while staying faithful to its original gameplay mechanics, rather than making modern easy changes (especially with the ball bounce!).
