----------------------------------- gergysun Thu Nov 29, 2007 10:23 pm Ball Bounce Off Of Paddle....how!?!?!?! ----------------------------------- Honeslty, lol ive been searching of how to do that for about an hour now, and i dont understand it all i want to do is have the ball bounce off my paddle.... here is my code so far... Code edited out at OP's request ----------------------------------- Tony Thu Nov 29, 2007 10:42 pm RE:Ball Bounce Off Of Paddle....how!?!?!?! ----------------------------------- It's the same way as bouncing off a wall or a ceiling, just like you're already doing elsif bally+50>=maxy then rise:=-1 but instead of maxy, you're checking the ball's position against that of the paddle. ----------------------------------- gergysun Thu Nov 29, 2007 10:50 pm Re: Ball Bounce Off Of Paddle....how!?!?!?! ----------------------------------- and how do i do that.....like what do i put ----------------------------------- Tony Thu Nov 29, 2007 11:19 pm RE:Ball Bounce Off Of Paddle....how!?!?!?! ----------------------------------- Well how did you figure out how to bounce the ball off the walls? ----------------------------------- gergysun Fri Nov 30, 2007 2:23 pm Re: Ball Bounce Off Of Paddle....how!?!?!?! ----------------------------------- well, i looked at the tutorials and managed to get something out of it, and thats how i got 2 of the sides to work, then i asked someone to help me and they gave me the answer of how it works and then i sort of understood it, then when the ball hit the bottom it didnt finish so i figured out how to make it finsih, and now i cant get the ball to bounce off the paddle ----------------------------------- gergysun Fri Nov 30, 2007 7:35 pm Re: Ball Bounce Off Of Paddle....how!?!?!?! ----------------------------------- WILL SOMEONE HELP ME FOR CRYING OUT LOUD...I DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT TONY IS SAYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ----------------------------------- Nick Fri Nov 30, 2007 7:39 pm RE:Ball Bounce Off Of Paddle....how!?!?!?! ----------------------------------- i think you just want someone to do the code for you I read through the help and its more than sufficent ----------------------------------- gergysun Fri Nov 30, 2007 7:42 pm Re: Ball Bounce Off Of Paddle....how!?!?!?! ----------------------------------- i have, but i dont understand it...only the stupid rectangle-ball collision thing....i just dont get it. and what does Toney mean by but instead of maxy, you're checking the ball's position against that of the paddle. ----------------------------------- Clayton Fri Nov 30, 2007 9:42 pm RE:Ball Bounce Off Of Paddle....how!?!?!?! ----------------------------------- Instead of just checking the ball's x co-ordinate and y co-ordinate against maxx and maxy respectively, you want to check within your paddle's x and y co-ordinates instead. ----------------------------------- gergysun Fri Nov 30, 2007 9:52 pm Re: Ball Bounce Off Of Paddle....how!?!?!?! ----------------------------------- ok, so what ur sayiung is instead of typing " elsif bally + 50 >= maxxy then rise := -1 " i would type "elsif x - 80 >= maxy then rise := -1" if not, please correct me here is my full code drawfill (1, 399, 150, 150) % Ball is slding across title var font1 : int %defiing font as an integer font1 := Font.New ("Stencil:30") % defining font size assert font1 > 0 Font.Draw ("Greg's Ping Pong Game", 160, 325, font1, red) % Main Title Font.Free (font1) colorback (6) % the background color locate (7, 30) var title1 : int %defines title1 as an integer title1 := 10 loop %begins title loop %Title wiper drawfilloval (title1, 335, 20, 20, 12) exit when title1 = 600 delay (50)%delay's playback 50 milliseconds drawfilloval (title1, 335, 20, 20, 158) % draws circle and fills it title1 := title1 + 10 end loop %ends title loop cls % clears the screen colorback (12)% defining background color put " ---The intructions are ---- " % outputs "Intructions" put " "% skips a line put " Move the Paddle with mouse " % outputs actual instructions put " Each time you keep the ball up in the air you reieve a point"% outputs actual instructions put " If you miss the ball, you lose "% outputs actual instructions put " "% skips a line put " "% skips a line put " "% skips a line put " "% skips a line put " "% skips a line % press any key to continue font1 := Font.New ("Stencil:20")%defines font1 as font.new and font size Font.Draw ("~~Press any Key to Begin~~", 90, 125, font1, red) Input.Pause % won't continue until user presses a key colourback (blue)% defining bacground color cls % Clears the screen setscreen ("offscreenonly") var rise, run, rad, u, yy, xx : int%defiing rise,run,rad,yy,xx as integers var bally, ballx : int := 200% defining bally,ballx as integers rad := 10 %defines Radius of ball rise := 2% defines where the ball starts run := 2 % defines where the ball starts loop%begins main loop var x, y, button : int %defines x,y,button as integers Mouse.Where (x, y, button)%indicates where the mouse is Draw.FillOval (ballx, bally, rad, rad, yellow)% draws pong ball ballx := ballx + run bally := bally + rise if ballx + 50 >= maxx then run := -1 elsif ballx - 50 = maxy then rise := -1 elsif bally + 50 >= 140 then rise := -1 elsif x-80 >=maxx then rise:=-1 elsif x + 80
