You could draw a ball in an art package, then you can load Image, and use it as a sprite.

Well you may as well learn how to load images. It's one of the main things that you need to learn.

Load Image "SpriteImage.bmp",1

where there is a circle command, replace it with.....

Sprite 1,x,y,1

The x,y can be replaced for whatever the circle uses as a token.

Put a sync in there! Also, you didn't need to start all over again, just put the sprite line in the circle line.


Do

Sync
`***End***
Loop

Wait yes it was. since the coordinate you choose only moves the image from the topleft corner of the picture, and i picled 1024 768 it was offscreen.
Here is the new screenshot.

and the code

Edit: I'll be moving that paddle a little to the right shortly.
edit: ok i moved it right.

OK I got it to the left and everything shows up. (halleluiah) Now all i have to do is make the sprites transparent and making them move.

let me see if i can do the transparency myself
by looking in the manual.

Oh great the background transparency color is black and i set it to that bright pink thinking that i could set the BG transparency color. Better make the BG black.

Thanks for all the help.
Finally here it is with transparent BG's.




I'm going to figure the rest out myself (using the reference guide and example code.) Thanks for helping.

I know i said i would figure it out myself but um... help?

I cant make the ball speed up when it hits the paddles and whenever it does speed up the loop goes and makes it move slowly again. It also chnges the rotation and makes it move to the left, making it go off the screen. I've included the source code and would have included and animated GIF, but those take hours to make...(well not really ). Oh and whenever the ball hits the invisible background, the ball bounces without hiitng the non-invisible part. Can someone help me with all of this?

BTW (as if this couldn't be anymore obvious) this is my first actual game, so please forgive me if i asked any stupid questions or got on your nerves.
It's getting kinda late too, so i'm going to stop coding (i've been doing it all day trying to figure out how to use this darn thing, and now its 10:10 PM and i think i'm tired of programming today, so if you guys do answer my question, please wait for me to answer.

Oh... ok thanks but does anyone know how to properly make it bounce?
Ok I've solved the bg problem, by editing the actual bitmap.

I think the ball won't bounce the right way because of the loop. Does anyone know to get rid of that problem?:-\

Try this



Also have a look at my first pong game thread in the newcommers forum. It uses planes innstead of sprites but the principles are still the same.

ok so im not that far off.


Ok so why not use the move sprite command.=P

EDIT: Oh because Sprite Move only moves it in 1 direction, and this way you can get it to move along both the y and x axis. Plus you can change the direction the speed it moves at way easier.
