Hi, I only started with DarkBasic a couple of day's ago and i'm stuck on my first game pong. I have managed to make the paddle (only one of them) move and the ball move but i cannot get the collision right on the paddle.
Pls help! My code is below:

Ok, the easiest way to get the collision on the paddle is to make a kind of collision box around it bysaying if the ball (sprite) is behind the paddle and in front of a certain distance behind the paddle and inbetween both sides of the paddle then your ball will change direction. eg...

if ball<paddlex and ball>paddlex-20 and ball<paddley+30 and ball >paddley-30 then change direction

Yum! Yum! Yum! Yum!

Sorry Hamish, but what do you mean by ball?
Do you mean the x position of the ball?
