Pong game

[macca1554]

Hi guys, I did a pong game tutorial and changed everything so that the pads are on the Y axis instead of X. I managed to get everything moving correctly, except everything is at a fraction of the speed of the version from the tutorial with the pads at top and bottom. Also, the ball does not spin properly when it is hit.

Here is the tutorials script

stop();

_root.pscore = 0;
_root.escore = 0;
_root.epad.speed = _global.espeed;

function start() {
_root.epad._x = 220;
_root.ppad._x = 255;
_root.ball._x = 255;
_root.ball._y = 200;
_root.ball.xspeed = 1;
_root.ball.yspeed = 10;
if (escore == 10) {
_global.won = "enemy";
_root.gotoAndStop('final');
}
if (pscore == 10) {
_global.won = "player";
_root.gotoAndStop('final');
}
}

start();



ppad.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) and ppad._x>50) {
ppad._x -= 10;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) and ppad._x<500) {
ppad._x += 10;
}
if (this.hitTest(_root.ball)) {
_root.ball.yspeed = _root.ball.yspeed*-1;
ballrotation = (_root.ball._x-_root.ppad._x)/10;
_root.ball.xspeed += ballrotation;
}
};

epad.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (_root.ball._x>_root.epad._x) {
epad._x += _root.epad.speed;

}
if (_root.ball._x<_root.epad._x) {
epad._x -= _root.epad.speed;
}
if (this.hitTest(_root.ball)) {
_root.ball.yspeed = _root.ball.yspeed*-1;
ballrotation = (_root.ball._x-_root.epad._x)/10;
_root.ball.xspeed += ballrotation;
}
};

ball.onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.ball._y += _root.ball.yspeed;
_root.ball._x += _root.ball.xspeed;
if (this._x>550) {
this.xspeed = this.xspeed*-1;
}
if (this._x<0) {
this.xspeed = this.xspeed*-1;
}
if (this._y<0) {
_root.pscore++;
start();
}
if (this._y>400) {
_root.escore++;
start();
}
};


and this is mine

stop();

_root.pscore = 0;
_root.escore = 0;
_root.epad.speed = _global.espeed;

function start() {
_root.epad._Y = 150;
_root.ppad._Y = 150;
_root.ball._x = 255;
_root.ball._y = 200;
_root.ball.yspeed = 1;
_root.ball.xspeed = 10;

if (escore == 10) {
_global.won = "enemy";
_root.gotoAndStop('gameover');
}
if (pscore == 10) {
_global.won = "player";
_root.gotoAndStop('gameover');
}
}

start();



ppad.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (Key.isDown(87) and ppad._y>50) {
ppad._y -= 10;
}
if (Key.isDown(83) and ppad._y<350) {
ppad._y += 10;
}
if (this.hitTest(_root.ball)) {
_root.ball.xspeed = _root.ball.xspeed*-1;
ballrotation = (_root.ball._y-_root.ppad._y)/10;
_root.ball.xspeed += ballrotation;
}
};

epad.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (_root.ball._y>_root.epad._y) {
epad._y += _root.epad.speed;

}
if (_root.ball._y<_root.epad._y) {
epad._y -= _root.epad.speed;
}
if (this.hitTest(_root.ball)) {
_root.ball.xspeed = _root.ball.xspeed*-1;
ballrotation = (_root.ball._y-_root.epad._y)/10;
_root.ball.yspeed += ballrotation;
}
};
ball.onEnterFrame = function() {
_root.ball._y += _root.ball.yspeed;
_root.ball._x += _root.ball.xspeed;

if (this._y>400) {
this.yspeed = this.yspeed*-1;
}
if (this._y<0) {
this.yspeed = this.yspeed*-1;
}
if (this._x<0) {
_root.pscore++;
start();
}
if (this._x>550) {
_root.escore++;
start();
}
}
;


Thanks in advance for the help :p

Hi

Haven't got time to look through all your code, but I saw a possible cause for your problem.


_root.epad._Y = 150;
_root.ppad._Y = 150;


The _y should be in lowercase like:


_root.epad._y = 150;
_root.ppad._y = 150;


Hope that helps! :cool: It might be the main fix or it could be one of many problems with it.

Good luck.
