I'm taking a class that involves making a pong game, and the instructions tell me to have the ball turn 180 degrees when it hits the paddle. This does not look right to me. I want the ball to bounce off the paddle in the same way it bounces off of the edge. Any input will be appreciated.

If the paddle is horizontal the return angle is 180 minus the approach angle. If it is vertical the return angle is the negative of the approach angle.

A little colorful style of the above post!^

If falling from the sky (I mean top)

If 2 players of going side ways:

not
