So four years later...

I have tried making larger projects and have failed to finish a single one of them. This isn't "finished", but at least it's playable with a start, middle and end. Don't get excited, it's just a simple pong game. After watching all the great things on this forum popup over the last few months, I'm really embarassed to be posting this here, but hey what the hell.
I really plan on adding more to this, but for now this is the state of things.
Single player: W/S keys for UP/DOWN, AI is pretty naive, just follows the ball.
Two player: W/S for player 1 and Up/Down arrows for player 2.
Text is from Direct2D/DirectWrite.
It uses the Chili 3D fundamentals framework, but doesn't make use of it. Hoping to change that really.
Part of me wants to be ambitious with this and see what turns out, the part of me that has been coding for four years with nothing to show, but knowledge feels that this is the best I'll be doing for now. We'll see. I plan on uploading to GitHub instead of uploading here, if I keep adding on to it.
If you have any questions on what is going on in the code, just ask. It does kind of bounce around as design decisions about code isn't my strong suit, which is why I never finish projects. This project should have taken a few hours, but have been working on it for a few hours a day for two weeks. There were a few refactorings trying to find a way to do what I wanted.
EDIT: Deleted the zip file and posted the GitHib link.
GitHub repo Pong
