for games such as pong, the ball must ‘bounce’ of the paddle, but you currently must do rotate randomly and it will lots of times make the ball go through the paddle simple fix: A bounce block, it takes the angle that the object goes in, in comparison to the other object, and mirrors it (you would also need a angle line on sprites so if you make it the angle is different sprites you can select the center of the sprite and then rotate the line)


Horrible Bug
Nice Fix

So…
Is this a suggestion, or a bug report? I don't understand the post.

All you need it math.
If the ball is coming down onto the paddle, you want it to change from -135 to 135.

If the ball is coming up onto the paddle, you want it to change from -45 to 45.

Check out my profile. I have a Pong project that bounces off the paddle based off the direction it's going (I'm too lazy right now to share a link).

…no that would not work most likely. becuase if the paddle moves. then the ball goes through it. bouncing it back. repeating you action.
