Easing [www.bit-101.com](http://www.bit-101.com) -good tutes in actionScript!! Boundries -do a search here hitTest -paddle to puck, puck to goal. …and math… ---

that, and do a search for a pong type game, I think really the only difference would be that with air hockey the paddles are not bound to only move on a Y axis. ---

Eh… The bounding boxes for the paddles would have to be each’s half court line… Just make use of the code that marks the old x location to get a source for power then… Just look around for the throwing ball stuff… 🙂 Where you can throw a ball in the air… the code that allow you to throw that ball is a source of power code… transfer that to a pong type ball that bounces and you have air hockey… 😛 ---

and limit the goal area, don’t forget that. ---

One more thing that hadn’t been mentioned: The puck has to have some drag added to it as well. Good luck!! 🙂
