Hi I made A pong game and every thing works fine except one thing and that is the ball sometimes bounces through the wall I made every time it gets really fast. Please help me some one.
This is DBPro with patch 4

I only skimed the code but I think this is the problem.

If the ball moves in a big jump bigger that the thickness of the wall when you check for a collision there won't be one as the ball has passed the wall and isn't colliding with it.

You could use simple maths insted of the sprite collision command.

use sprite x and sprite y to get the cordinates of the sprite and check that the x and y values are within the walls.
