Ever wished for Wimbledon-style commentary during Pong matches? You’re in luck, because xPong was made for that. Basically, it adds real-time commentary powered by a large language model (LLM) to the Pong game, making it more fun with a sports-like play-by-play voice.
The AI makes fun commentary based on the game’s action, including match openings, in-game events, and end-of-game recaps. It’s not super detailed, since this is only a trial to prove AI can add thrilling, human-like narration to basic games, which might transform how games are enjoyed.

The commentary system has three parts: Match Introduction (the AI gets the game ready before it begins), In-Game Commentary (while playing, the AI tracks the ball and paddle moves to talk about what’s going on in real time), and Match Conclusion (when the game’s done, the AI wraps up the results). Large Language Models (LLMs) create the natural-sounding commentary, using their understanding of the context to make clear and exciting narration.
