i have just one comment...

there are a variables in the program that you call Score1 and Score2...

then you write: pscore1, pscore2...

i had to change pscore1, pscore2 to Score1 and Score2 for it to work...


other than that, great job...

my only suggestion: make the slimes and ball move faster.

Heres a slightly revised version of it, I fixed a few minor glitches and from what I can tell is running perfectly now, I am attaching a .zip file that has my progress through if you would like to check out the steps that I took plus the sound files that I have placed in the program. The .exe and the regular .t file that are saved as just Volley Ball are the finals.

I like it a lot actually.

Few things I would recommend however:

- The annoying wait times to start the game (the couple of screens the user is forced to wait before he/she begins the game (The controls and welcome message...)

Make a menu or something instead, and then you've reduced waittimes to simply having the user input their name

- Also, there is a very noticeable pause each time the ball hits the player and is calculating which angle to bounce off at. This is more frusterating when it gets caught behind the player and keeps bouncing off the player and wall beside them 4-5 times before getting free into the air.



Effects are very nice I must say Smile

Well I understand the issue that you are all having with the delaying issue. I have been trying to speed things up on my computer, the computer that I wrote this program on has an intel quad core processor, 4 gig ddr2 ram, 2 tb harddrive (4 seperate 500) and 2x radeon hd 3870 512mb video cards, so what is running perfectly for me may be running very slow for you, I will try to fix things a bit for you guys. If you have any suggestions besides the entry screen then they would be greatly appreciated, as of now it is very hard for me to tell a large difference between the code that I am writing do to my computer.

The only thing you changed was variable names and the starting screens
and for sugestions heres a few

1. Write your own code
2. If your going to copy code at least make an effort to use it in a differnt way
3. If you copy code don't post it (people catch on)
4. Please don't add stupid sound effects to my progams it's insulting

It is still easy to spot though. It's usually ok to study from someone else's code, but passing it off as your own is a bad idea.

Wow, I actually had a feeling I saw this somewhere else before.

Pathetic. This is why people can't trust eachother with full source code on a forum like this. Very sad, 0 respect for you bud.
