When I run this, After the ball comes close to the left paddle it will either bounce a quarter screen early, hit the paddle then after the ball moves away just a bit, it starts bouncing back and forth as if it was hitting a wall. Can you see what I'm doing wrong (Or not doing that I should be)?
ballPos is the Vector2 value for the balls position. paddleStaticPos.X is the X position for the paddle (located 5 off of the left wall) paddlePos.X is the Y value for the left paddle.
I know I should have used the vector values for the left and right paddles separately rather than binding the, but I don't have time to fix it anymore. Here is the code:
if (ballPos.X <= paddleStaticPos.X + 15)
{
if (ballPos.Y <= paddlePos.X + 25 && ballPos.Y >= paddlePos.X)
{
gameStartpaddleHit = true;
lastPaddleHitLeft = true;
ballLeft = ballLeft * -1;
ballUp = ballUp * -1;
soundEffect[0].Play();
}
}
//Sedond Sector(26-100[MIRROR EFFECT])
int tmp2=ballLeft;
if (ballPos.X <= paddleStaticPos.X + 15)
{
if (ballPos.Y <= paddlePos.X + 99 && ballPos.Y >= paddlePos.X + 26)
{
gameStartpaddleHit = true;
lastPaddleHitLeft = true;
ballLeft = tmp2 * -1;
soundEffect[0].Play();
}
}
//Third Sector(101-125[SHARP ANGLE DEFLECT])
if (ballPos.X <= paddlePos.X + 15)
{
if (ballPos.Y <= paddlePos.X + 125 && ballPos.Y >= paddlePos.X + 100)
{
gameStartpaddleHit = true;
lastPaddleHitLeft = true;
ballLeft = ballLeft * -1;
ballUp = ballUp * -1;
soundEffect[0].Play();
}
}
