Pong

Here is my game of pong, any comments and suggestions are appreciated

okay, first thing, DONT HARDCODE THE SCREEN POSITIONS!! if you are going to set the screen size to max;max then make the program use the whole screen. obviously the screen you are using is smaller than the one i am, keep this in mind when programming games like this, other than that not bad, it looks good ("storyline" kinda sux though lol), and is like every other pong game ever posted.

I swear this EXACT SAME GAME was posted, along with the whole hardcoded screen values, just a little while ago... minus the story...

[XeroX]

Yes, I know the storyline is kind of, crappy, I just wanted to add some humor.

And I will change the screen values.

thanks

omg..my eye twiches trying to play because its so slow..plz speed it up a bit

what's your resolution setting? try 800x600

#1) Did you plagiarize this? Because this exact game was posted a while ago.

#2) The whole point of using "max,max" for screensize is so that your program can be dynamic. It should work on all computers and resolutions, not just yours. If you wanted the window to be 800X600, you should have set the window to 800X600.

1. no i did not plagiarize it, i previously posted it in the help, but moved it to the applications updated.

2. i have set it to 700x550, but it displays scroll bars both horizontally and vertically why and how do i fix this?

[TheOneTrueGod]

The only way (That I know of) to fix this is to increase your screen resolution That, or use max/max, and then instead of using hardcoded constants for the boundaries, use "maxx" and "maxy". Shouldn't be too hard!

Sry, but one more thing, plz make the paddles faster then the ball so you can accually stop the ball when moving from the top to the bottem.

[TheOneTrueGod]

The ball moving faster than the paddles actually adds skill to the game, because you have to anticipate where the ball is going (Though that skill is completely pointless when you can't see the boundaries )
