Hi I haven't coded before but I want to adapt the game pong to add music and replace the ball graphic with an image of my brother's head.
Any tips on starting out? Is this straightforward?

Re: Pong hacking/adaptation? (noob)
If you want to learn python, there is a tutorial for pong here:

I haven't quite read through it, but a few quick searches on Google aboutpython and you sshould be able to do it. Alternatively you could use scratch if this is your first time programming

Again, I haven't read it, but it should work.

So I can replace the ball with the head?

You could just take any pong source code out there which uses Bitmap resources and replace whatever you want.

I approve of this project. Make sure to add an 'aaargh!' sound effect every bounce.
