hai, i’m trying to make a pong game where the ball moves really fast to give it some challenge, and i need the enemy paddle to move fast enough to get the ball. the problem is, when i make it move faster it looks really choppy. the code i’m using is \_x+=speed, is there a better code that will move the paddle smoothly?
