Hi!

I started to make pong because I never programmed a game. There are to little paddles on the sides of the screen so far. I want to know how to make boudries and change the color of the paddles.

Thanks

Just open up paint or something and draw a box the color you want the paddles and then just load it as a bitmap. That way you can use collisions and if you detect collision then you can have the ball bounce off but you'll have to make the ball a bitmap to. To make boundries you could just use the commands to draw another box but when I made Pong I just also used another Bitmap for the lines at the top and bottom it's much easier For collision purposes.

position object myFoot,object position x(yourFace),object position y(yourFace),object position z(yourFace)

If you are using the db 2d commands to draw the paddles use the ink command to change the colours.

You can make the boundtries in a few different ways. You could have lines as sprties and check for collision with the ball. You could also check if the ball is near the edge and then make it reverse direction.

Sprite collision for boundaries?
I'd just use a variable for the position of the ball and if it's too far over either side then it hits the boundaries. Then you can check it's y position to see if it will hit the paddle. Sounds simple enough to me.

If you can't beat them, use a stick.
