Help with PONG, please?

Hi,

I am trying to make a PONG game. Basically, on bar on LEFT one on RIGHT and a BALL.

Figured ou most of it, except I cannot make barLEFT (Will be automated - player by computer), I would like to have barLEFT move by itself and follow.Y of BALL.

In other words, player will be playing against computer but barLEFT must be controled in a logical way that it tries to deflect the ball back in an attempt to defeat Player.

Help, please.

Thank you.

For Pong I guess you would set the bar's Y to the Y of the ball and to adjust the difficulty you put in delays for its speed in getting to that Y.

If you search the Tutorials (I prefer to search via Google) then you will find many examples to learn from, including some with basic AI - the second result is a video tutorial that has basic AI.

Maybe worth a look.

In the most basic terms:

Ball.Y > BarLEFT.Y

? Add ( dt * x ) to BarLEFT.Y

: Subtract ( dt * x ) from BarLEFT.Y

Thank you all! Sorry I couldnt reply sooner. Thank you all!

Condition: Every Tick

Action: Paddle(Sprite) Then Set Y =

Expression: Ball.Y
