So I spent the last month trying to work on my last project, Atomic Satellite from Venus, but I just can't get stuff to work, maybe I'm not understanding the way things should be programed, who knows.

Anyway, I kept asking my brother for help, but he told me, "Make pong, then I'll help"

So I am, lol. I started on a simple pong game, with some flashy stuff. Nothing much. It' started out alright, but I think i screwed up my trig, or maybe I'm just not implementing it correctly in code. Try it out, and you will see what I mean
heres code: (screenshot attached)

Yeah, the trig is definitely not quite right . However, there is an easier way that involves a lot less trig. When the ball is reset, calculate a move_x and move_y values based on the angle and speed you want the ball to have. Use these values that you calculated to move the ball instead of the angle and speed. Then, when the ball hits a paddle, for instance, simply reverse the x speed, or if the ball hits the wall, the y speed (just multiply the value by -1). Also, to increase the ball's speed, you could try something like this:

move_x# = move_x#+((move_x#/abs(move_x#)*.2)

That way, it adds to the speed whether it is positive or negative (I think, I haven't tested it)

Hope this helped!
