-  a simple JavaScript/HTML/CSS/Canvas app that is a one player game of PONG. 
-  The left paddle is controlled by the player, following where the mouse goes.
-  The right paddle is controlled by a simple AI algorithm, which slowly moves the paddle toward the ball at every frame, with some probability of error.
-  Make the canvas a 400 x 400 black square and center it in the app.
-  Make the paddles 100px long, yellow and the ball small and red.
-  Make sure to render the paddles and name them so they can controlled in javascript.
-  Implement the collision detection and scoring as well.
-  Every time the ball bouncess off a paddle, the ball should move faster.
-  It is meant to run in Chrome browser, so dont use anything that is not supported by Chrome, and don't use the import and export keywords.
