Webcam pong

programming flash
1

ok so i have made an pong game in flash. or im trying to xD.
but i need help on how to get the ball to move from on side to the other and if the paddle is in the way it bounces back can you help me??

the paddle moves up and down really fast, im calibrating it all the time to make it move smoothly and i cant upload the new version all the time . thats why the paddle is wierd in this swf file.

(when this is finished im gonna give you the code to it.)

if (goLeft){
ball._x–;
}else{
ball._x++;
}

if (goUp){
ball._y–;
}else{
ball._y++;
}

if (ball._x<ball._width/2)goLeft=false
if (ball._x>(Stage.Width-ball._width/2))goLeft=true
if (ball._y<ball._height/2)goUp=false
if (ball._y>(Stage.Width-ball._height/2))goUp=true

that’s bouncing

  1. name the ball mc to ‘ball’
  2. if the code is not on the same level as the ball use path (like _root.ball instead of ball when ball is on the stage)
  3. make sure the code runs continously (like inside an event handler)

but how can i make the paddle hit it?? i have tried and failed :S

muhahaha you can never beat the computer in this game :smiley: cause the y value of the paddle2 is the same as the ball :smiley:

if (ball._x<Number(leftpaddle._x+leftpaddle._width+ball._width/2)){
if (ball._y>Number(leftpaddle._y-ball._width/2) and ball._y<Number(leftpaddle._y+leftpaddle._height+ball._width/2)){
//hit
goLeft=false
}
}
if (ball._x<leftpaddle._x-ball._width-10){
//the ball is out
}

the code still needs some polishing tough
