Pong Part 3 – the Player’s Paddle

https://as3gametuts.com/2011/08/31/pong-3/

In this section, you simply add code to make the player’s paddle move. It moves up and down according to your mouse movement. Code also stops it from exiting the screen.

Add this code to  à

function loop(e:Event):void

{

    Right about here   

          ball.x += ballSpeedX;

the code: press F9 to bring up the actions window

playerPaddle.y = mouseY;

// check if top of paddle is above top of screen

if(playerPaddle.y - playerPaddle.height/2 < 0){

     playerPaddle.y = playerPaddle.height/2;

//check if bottom of paddle is below bottom of screen

} else if(playerPaddle.y + playerPaddle.height/2 > stage.stageHeight){

     playerPaddle.y = stage.stageHeight - playerPaddle.height/2;

}

don't miss this last bracket

Pong Part 4 – the CPU's Paddle

Part 4 –the CPU’s paddle

https://as3gametuts.com/2011/09/13/pong-4/

This code is meant to simulate a decent paddle player.  The CPU should miss occasionally because it will be a little too slow.

The first bit of code is placed at the very top just under var ballSpeedY:int = -2;

The CODE:

var cpuPaddleSpeed:int = 3;

The next bit of code where we place the rest of the code – in the function loop

Place it just above playerPaddle.y = mouseY;

The CODE

if(cpuPaddle.y < ball.y - 10){

    cpuPaddle.y += cpuPaddleSpeed;

} else if(cpuPaddle.y > ball.y + 10){

    cpuPaddle.y -= cpuPaddleSpeed;

}

Do not forget the very last bracket!
