Kinvert made another custom game using the Anki Cozmo SDK. This time we made a Pong Cozmo Game. See how you match up against Cozmo.

Use this code with the Anki Cozmo SDK to play the game.

Want to learn Python? Cozmo and Vector are a great way to do just that. Cozmo vs Vector is one of our most popular articles.

This is one of many Anki Cozmo SDK Examples.

Playing Pong Game With Cozmo

https://youtu.be/-XsSq-W8FSg

The wonderful people in our mailing list wanted some more SDK content. So we came up with this idea and made it happen.

We programmed Cozmo so he can play you in Pong. Let’s talk a little bit about it before copying the code.

Pong Commands – Pongmands

Time to take a look at some of the pongmands we use for Cozmo:

robot.set_head_angle()

robot.say_text()

variables

for loops

time.sleep()robot.pose_pitch.degrees

if

elif

cozmo.oled_face.convert_image_to_screen_data()

robot.display_oled_face_image()

random.randint()

PIL.Image.new()

PIL.ImageDraw.Draw()

PIL ellipse

PIL rectangle

abs()

Don’t worry if you don’t understand the code.

First of all, we’re creating an online course for Cozmo. It will help you understand code like this and enable you to make your own games.

Second, you can just copy and paste this code. Even if you don’t understand it, it will still work with the SDK.

The Pong Code

This isn’t the shortest code we’ve written. So I won’t have time to go in depth with how the code works.

So I will explain. Wait, there is too much. Let me sum up:

We create an X and Y position and velocity for the ball. If a bounce is detected on a wall or paddle, the values will change.

Cozmo is totally OP right now with the way I programmed him. You won’t stand a chance. Prepare to get pongslaughtered.

Improvements for Python Code

How could we make Cozmo less difficult to beat?

What could we do to make the controls a bit more intuitive and smooth?

How could we change the code to help it keep score?
