Pong With Single Player - Suggestions?

Is there any way to shorten this a bit, because it took up alot of space to do the scores, and when youre writing text with a font, it wont let you put in integer variables. Is there any way to get around that?

I have not looked at your code but to add integers into Font.Draw you have to convert them into a string with intstr.
So instead of just putting your variable put intstr(variable)
Edit:
I understand what you mean about the scoring. If you use intstr(p1s) or intstr(p2s) you should shorten it quite a bit.

You mean 68 in both single player and 2 player. 

Also you need to make the AI not have the same y position as the ball.

What I did for my AI was check the ball's Y in relation to the AI paddle's Y. If it's greater, move the paddle up. If it's less, move it down. By varying the speed of the paddle I was able to make differing levels of difficulty.
