Pong so far

-----------------------------------

here is a pong game i've created. It would be much appreciated if anyone could give me any suggestions for improvement. one problem is the words you type in during get statements don't appear.

Thanks,
XeroX

first thing: you should only ever need one View.Update in your program

now on to your problem, the reason that the typing isnt appearing is because of the initial View.Set, which sets the screen to offscreenonly mode, which creates a buffer to store all changes to the screen then puts them to it when you use the command View.Update, so when you type in your letters, they are stored in the buffer until you call View.Update, that is why your letters arent showing up :D
