Air Hockey Demo

THIS IS NOT THE FINISHED GAME, things still on the to-do list include:
user chosen colored paddles
score board
clock

If you have any more suggestions on how to make it better please feel free to send them to me

1) You have the window set to be the maximum screen size, yet only some of your objects are scaled. (see attached picture)
2) Q,A are weird controls, W,S are more standard for the left side of the keyboard.
3) The ball doesn't properly collide with the paddles.

The window control problem has been fixed, it worked fine on my comp but your screen res must be different I guess, any suggestions for how to fix the collision? and I will switch it back to w and s, thanks for your suggestions

Beside the fact that it is kind of out of proportion its pretty good. I like how it speeds up and if it hits the end of the paddle it goes on a sharper angle. In my opinion the gameplay is good, just work on the graphical components. (Also add a score you can see while playing)

[saltpro15]

yeah the score is still on the to-do list, I'm debating the best way to do it, I'm thinking of adding unlockable backgrounds too... not too sure how to do it tho lol

[saltpro15]

ok so I fixed the proportions glitch I think...let me know if it's still acting up

^^ Nice. The score could be quite simple. Each time it gets past your paddle have (example) player1score + 1. Then just have a put statement outputting the score. Quite simple.

Unless you want the score to be in a different font. Then you need to use strint or instr(string integers or integer strings) which can be a bit more complicated.

hmmm kinda like pong...
i suggest you make a area in the middle of the right and left sides of the "ends of he table" where there is a "hole" where the puck can go into instead of the whole backboard good job though


right now the table is like this ( "|"being the contact zone where the puck resets)
|..........................|
|..........................|
|..........................|
|..........................|
|..........................|
|..........................|
|..........................|
should be like (in my mind){ "=" is the net and "|" it the back board}
