Hey guys I am making a breakout game. I have problem with the paddle colliding with the sides and then zooming up to the top. I have included the problem in the capX but the game link just has the block taken out causing the problem.

PLAY GAME HERE!

CAPXXXXXXX

nice game

Thanks, Just need help figuring out that problem when the paddle hits the sides. I think it has something to do with the paddle intersecting the walls and then trying to scoot out of the collision. HOW ME STOP THAT?

delgado , that's what you find to say ?

Well I don't see a problem in the .capx

Maybe you could completely remove the sides !

oh sorry i dont read this part with the problem in the capx, for me game is very nice and fun

One trick is to simply stop receiving input from the player once the paddle reaches a specific X value.

(without having seen your capx)

(Condition 1)

On key "arrow right"

(Condition 2)

paddle <= (screen.width - 10)

action - every tick, move paddle.X +1

this way it will stop moving the paddle once it reaches the screen boundary on the right.

Thanks Justifun. I will give that a go. now I just took out the sides but I would prefer to have graphics there.

Hmmm tried the boolean of shutting the paddle following the x value with a lerp and it seems to just ignore it entirely. :(

Close to wall = false

true = move paddle towards mouse x

I was thinking about moving it a different way with the 8 direction... I am afraid it will function strange. Testing now.
