i am making an air hockey game and i am trying to get the paddles on the screen and the ball to move randomly,help!!!!

i can suggest things that can help.

for the paddles use a circle and use simple physics and collision detection using color. im not quite sure how to do this, im a newb myself (not that im calling you one ) ask an admin about it.

It's way too fast, put a delay in it. Also have a cls in the loop so that the puck doesn't leave a trail but then you'll have to redraw all the borders and stuff in the loop. In order to make the paddles move try something like this

Quote:

var Keys_Pressed : array char of boolean
...
loop
Input.KeyDown (Keys_Pressed)
if Keys_Pressed (KEY_UP_ARROW) then
PaddleX += SPEED
elsif Keys_Pressed (KEY_DOWN_ARROW) then
PaddleX -= SPEED
end if
%All the other suff goes here
Draw.FillBox (PaddleX, PaddleX + PADDLE_WIDTH, PaddleX + PADDLE_LENGTH, PaddleX + PADDLE_LENGTH, COLOUR)
end loop
