Its a simple bat and ball game! The only thing is that the ball always comes back to same place, so basically you can always leave the bat in the same place! I have put the code on-line at http://www.cracknell.freeuk.com/misc/paddle_src.zip Is there a simple way of realistically making the ball move on slightly different paths without the movement being irregular? Another real funny thing is that this game is secretly built into another game called Meteor (by James Bunting)! http://www.aic.co.uk/~james/games/meteor ). Just type "paddle" at the game console to play it! :D Kelvin Cracknell cracknell AT freeuk DOT com http://cracknell.freeuk.com "Allegro is great but I can't use it! :)"
