Make a Ping Pong Game in Unity (Free Tutorial)

Updated: Jul 14



Whether you’re hosting a ping pong championship or need to change out assets for projects deployed on multiple platforms, echo3D makes it easy to do this by simply using an API key and updating in 1 place. Assets are stored on the echo3D cloud and called at runtime so you can focus on other things. Like ping pong. Or trying out more open-source projects on our Github.

In this tutorial, you will play ping pong against another player (or the other side of your brain!)
