Errors out at "Row of 42 is greater than maxrow (33)." lol, embarrassing!

oh, and theres a damn annoying streaking effect, the score doesnt work and the sound is off, the ball never moves up, and on the highest difficulty it gets stuck in the middle, other than that .... it is truly something that should be posted in "help" section, not submissions, try checking it yourself first before you make such an embarrassment to yourself!

Wow, calm down.  Its a pretty good program.  Just could use some asthetic improvements.  The first thing I would fix though, is the fact that the ends of the hitting thing (dont know name) are drawn, but the ball can pass right through them.

I find your collision detection to be a little off (with the grey paddle, anyways).

ok there chirpy (compwiz333) id make an embarassment o u so shut up if u knew any thing you would go into properties n max out ur screen res. so it wouldent say error n second score does work but you have 2 directly score on someone 2 get a point. n yeah sometimes when ball is grey it will go through yellow square i couldent figure it out

here is a new version of ma pong it has somecodes in it n i almost fixed all the glitches except for the one where the ball goes through the boxes when its grey(i did make it less likely to happen though)>

well, it is a vast improvement from the first one however, like you said, there are some glitches, like how the ball only goes in one specific pattern, maybe when it hits the paddle, it could deflect at different angles, so its not so,well, the same every single time ... that is pretty much it.
[EDIT] ya see now why you should have posted in "help"?[EDIT]

agreed.
the ball sometimes just goes throught the grey paddle if its coming diagonally anyway nice program tho :)

i found it only went through if the paddle size is less than 20(distance between ends) or if the ball size is large(difficulty 1) game rund best with difficulty 3 and ball speed 3(type 313 at beinning)

ya thats the same thing with me too. the way i look at it...a program can always become better, but of course u have to get the actual program running and then make it better

Still... it's pong.  A very basic program.  Why don't you move on to something a little more challenging?

Sorry, I never even started pong, because I realized how simple and basic it was and wanted something that was actually challenging to me.  If that's the level your at then thats fine ... but i'm just saying keep learning and don't get stuck up on one thing that is useless (you won't make money, or get a decent programming job off of pong). Keep challenging yourself to do bigger and better, and quite often that requires starting over.

well seeing as how i only program in computer programing at skool bc i have better things to do plus turing is a pretty usless thing and im also teaching my self C++ and spent quite a bit on books n stuff 4 it im not really intrested in learnin a lot of turing

Then do stuff in C++ please, it's much better... although turing was based on the c compiler, which is just pathetic.... and if you have better things to do then programming then fine, but some of us actually chose this for a career path.... proud to be a geek

Well I was trying to encourage you, but now you deserve a flaming.

Better things to do then your carreer eh?  Well aren't you a fvcking bright one... actually, i'm not even gonna continue this i'm not in the mood, plus i'm at work.  I just pray I never have to code along side someone with that attitude.
