Making my ball move + collision (for collision, possibly give a tutorial link?)

[Velocity]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
I want to make my ball move and i want to make it so that it bounces of my paddle and if it hits the side walls then it will also bounce of them in the correct angle.

What is the problem you are having?
I dont know anything in collision and i have no idea how to make my ball hit the paddle and bounce off it, or even how to make the ball move overall.


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
I tried whatever i implemented into my program at the end... it runs but it doesnt do anything.


Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)
All the relevant code is in the syntax.

Turing Walkthrough links to a collision detection tutorial, but there are others if you search for them too.

thanks tony and what about making my ball move :DDD

[Insectoid]

...also in the Turing Walkthrough. There are dozens of tutorials on making things move. There are dozens of threads in the help section asking this same question.

I dont see the tutorial on making a ball move on there? and my math isnt too good :O i dont really understand how to tell the computer that if the x1 co-ord of the paddle hits the (0,0) co-ords of the screen, how do i make that the end zone and the same thing for y1 ... please explain

thanks

[Velocity]

so pretty much

if ball_x1 > 5
ball_x1 += 5
end if

?

[Tony]

I don't know. What do you think the above does?

excuse my stupidity and thanks
