Well I lost to it, because the paddle didnt move quick enough. Make it so that your paddle can get from the top to the bottom faster...

i think that slow paddle movement adds on to the difficulty. To the extend that AI has a definate advantage Rolling Eyes

ya, in pong you can make an unbeatable ai...just make the computers paddle follow Y coordinate

it will work only if the paddle moves atleast as fast as the ball Rolling Eyes

But you can always just calculate where the ball will try to cross AI's line after being reflected by the player and move AI's paddle there. But unbeatable AIs are no fun to play against.

The game is too easy, I am planning on makeing a easy, medium, difficult, and insane. And if I make the Computer mirror the ball, it will be impossbile, and you might as well play against a wall, making it meaningless.
Thank you for your input.

its easy to predict where the ball will end up, so making an unbeatable AI isnt hard... the instant the ball touches the opponent's padle, the AI should already know where its going...

Change userSPEED to 5, it seems fairer Smile The AI dosent like moving much either

heck, if the angle of reflection is always the same (seeing as the paddle is flat) then AI should know where the ball will be after indefinate amount of moves in advance Laughing

well, if the ball hits the coner, shouldnt it bounce differently?

Like I said at the Start, i am goin to improve my collision detection. And I am now workinh on a paddle that looks something like this: /

This will make the game a little less predictable.
Also what does anyone think about adding in Random Walls here and there throughout the game, that could make it more interesting.

maybe not entirely random... you can have like different level maps Very Happy

you can think up a bunch of features to make the game more interesting... heck, you can have powerups and what not. 8)
