Turing pong help

[Metaxu]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
Ball to work on hitting the left side paddle and bouncing off. Works on the right side. Also need ball to bounce off of top and bottom. Works on the top but not on the bottom


What is the problem you are having?
Wont bounce


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
Tried alot, but any help would be much appreciated.

Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)
What i have so far

Turing:

var x, y, x2, y2, x22, y22, x222, y222, ballx, bally : int x := 10 y := 270 x2 := 20 y2 := 175 x22 := 620 y22 := 270 x222 := 630 y222 := 175 ballx := maxx div 2 bally := maxy div 2 var rad1, rad2 : int := 6 var DX, DY : int := 4 colourback (black) var chars : array char of boolean loop     ballx := ballx + DX    %w     bally := bally + DY    %z     Input.KeyDown (chars)     if chars ('w') then         y := y + 5         y2 := y2 + 5     end if     if chars ('s') then         y2 := y2 - 5         y := y - 5     end if     if chars (KEY_UP_ARROW) then         y22 := y22 + 5         y222 := y222 + 5     end if     if chars (KEY_DOWN_ARROW) then         y222 := y222 - 5         y22 := y22 - 5     end if     if y > 395 then         y := y - 5         y2 := y - 95     end if     if y2 <= 1 then         y := y2 + 95         y2 := y2 + 5     end if     if y22 > 395 then         y22 := y22 - 5         y222 := y22 - 95     end if     if y222 <= 1 then         y22 := y222 + 95         y222 := y222 + 5     end if     if ballx + 6 >= 10 and ballx - 6 <= 20 and bally >= y - 85 and bally <= y + 85 then         DX := (-1) * DX     end if     if ballx + 6 >= 620 and ballx - 6 <= 630 and bally >= y - 30 and bally <= y + 30 then         DX := (-1) * DX     end if     if ballx >= maxx - 6 then         DX := -3     end if     if bally >= maxy - 6 then         DY := -3     end if     drawfilloval (ballx, bally, rad1, rad2, white)     drawfillbox (x, y, x2, y2, 0)     delay (10)     cls     drawfilloval (ballx, bally, rad1, rad2, black)     drawfillbox (x22, y22, x222, y222, 0) end loop

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
The good one.

code:

var x, y, x2, y2, x22, y22, x222, y222, ballx, bally : int

This is a problem. I have no idea what any of these variables are supposed to be. Your variable names should describe themselves. All I know is these represent the X and Y coordinates of...things. Without comments, I haven't got a clue. In fact, I didn't read past that line, for exactly this reason. Fix this first, and then maybe I'll give you a hand.

I think those variables are for the paddles

He could probably figure it out, he's trying to teach a lesson in proper variable naming.

Or he's lazy. Either way.


For small projects like this naming your variables incoherent names is annoying, but still usable. However if you work in anything bigger this will not do. Get into the habit of naming your variables something more relevant and/or specific.
