Hi, as you've probably guessed by the title I've used the EXCELLENT pong tut (thanks a lot Chris K., it really helped me start to understand the language) but I have one problem. Sometimes when one of the paddles hits the ball the ball sticks to the paddle and vibrates a bunch of times trying to go around the paddle, and the only way to stop it is to let the ball go around the paddle and make the opposite player earn a goal. I don't have a clue why this is happening, I'll post my code. Any help is greatly appretiated, thanks again Chris for that tut. Oh and I'm using DBP.

Causin' RUCCUS whereva' I go.

I know the reason (it's hitting the paddle from above so it reflects left then right then left then right etc...) but I don't know how to fix it.

Am I the only one here who's really confused?

It never works... it always says "sorry but i've given up" now and has done for the last week or so as far as i know... just use the code tags inside your message instead of attaching the source
