Good day everyone,

I'm stuck with a problem for my (first) darkGDK program I'm creating.

It's sort of a pong variant with one paddle on each wall, with the object to keep bouncing the ball between the paddles for as long as possible.

Now my question is:
I am able to detect the collision between baddle and ball (using dbSpriteCollision(), but I dont know how I can then make it reflect (keeping in minde that the lower the incoming angle is, the lower the outward angle must be aswell).

Is anyone able to help me?

Many thanks

Um, all you need to do is just multiply the speeds of the X and Y positions by -1.

What I mean is like this



Understand?

I understand the principle, but the way I'm moving it is that I first rotate it with dbRotateSprite(), and then move it 'forward' with dbMoveSprite. In this situation, theree is no XSpeed or YSpeed, because it is always moving 'forwards'.

So, when it hits the paddle, it should be moved by a certain amount by using dbRotateSprite() again right? Or should I be doing it very differently?

Anyone who was about to answer: Thank you, but I've solved the problem.

To anyone wondering to a solution: what I did was just rotate the ball by 360-dbSpriteAngle(ball) for when it hit the top/bottom paddle, and by 180-dbSpriteAngle(ball) for the left and right paddles.
