Quote:Legal Service (Ping Pong)
The ball must rest on an open hand palm.
Then it must be tossed up at least 6 inches and struck
so the ball first bounces on the server's side and then
the opponent's side. If the serve is legal except that
it touches the net, it is called a let serve.
Well I must be thinking of tennis. They do call it table tennis after all.
I actually knew as much as you about it, and should have known even more if I forced myself to watch Adriana Diaz playing. :O
RE: Profile Pong Game Development - bplus - 02-05-2023
I should have know about serve, use to play all the time in college but that was 50 years ago!
OK the serve stuff is fixed, but I hated the way that paddle shape was playing so I switched back to a bigger circle, better!
Then I discovered a trick to beat the machine! Player's new color is Green because it ain't easy...
Code: (Select All)
Option _Explicit
_Title "Profile Pong 2-4" ' b+ 2023-02-01 started inspired by Rosy game at RCBasic
'2023-02-02 1.1 fix straight up and down problem that infinitely loops.
' You can hit a ball again so long as the dx is still headed at you or 0.
' To tighten down game to actual Ping Pong Rules added variables TableTouchL and TableTouchR
' Set those to 0 when ball collides with paddle on that side. Check those when scoring points.
' Oh some sound effects would be nice.
'2023-02-02 1-2 Increase paddleR, let paddle go through table 1/2 way, blue background.
' Try nicer font...
'2023-02-03 2-0 change shape of paddle and work out collision code circle and line segment,
' collision with offset for ball radius. Add recticle draw sub for new paddle shape.
' Collision with paddle has 3 parts now:
' 1. Collision with straight part of paddle
' 2. Collision with top circle of paddle
' 3. Collision with bottom corcle part of paddle
' PaddleR was decressed since now circle parts of paddle instead of 1/2 circle.
' Now it seems too easy to beat Computer, will take care of that next!
' Clean up comments.
'2023-02-03 2-2 OK attempt to make the computer a little harder to beat. ParkCompterY will keep
' computers paddle parked until the ball hits it's side of the table, then it will spring to
' action, so no more freebee points if you hit it out of ball park.
' Fix problem when last player to hit ball hits backwards like in a serve, should lose
' a point not get one! Now checking lastToHit variable and assigned Computer and Player
' Constants. Now a problem when player lobs just past table and hits computer paddle.
' Computer needs to really duck or fly! Fixed after ball crosses net computer stays above it
' until it hits table, then it gets in position to return.
'2023-02-04 2-3
' WOW I just made one gross adjustment to ComputerY Paddle height according to ball distance to
' table and made this a very hard game for Player to score!
'2023-02-04 2-4
' Observe the proper rule for legal serve, hit server's side first and then opponent's side.
' Add Const Server and use for scoring. Now get in habit of striking ball with bottom circle
' maybe side?

Ha! I was "browsing" and found your "Ping Pong". I know, a whole year later! The paddles are, what was the description used, "cute". It is still a bit difficult - but practice should take care of that - and I even like the colour! Great job!
RE: Profile Pong Game Development - bplus - 07-08-2024
Hey @johnno56 !
Yeah this one was hard to dumb down the Computer. I vaguely remember I did find a weakness, oh something about being able to hit the ball several times up in the air on players side until you smash the sweet spot. Hit it so the ball has to bounce 2 Xs on table before it reaches the end where computer could finally hit it. Maybe smash is wrong word, ever so lightly get the ball just over the net and then it goes up and down and hits table again. GOOD LUCK!
RE: Profile Pong Game Development - PhilOfPerth - 07-09-2024
Nice game! Yes, I found I CAN "cheat" by double-hitting my serve, but I still haven't won more than 1 point!
I need a bit more space to stand back to serve with my "super-backspin" too.
RE: Profile Pong Game Development - SierraKen - 10-25-2024
This has a LOT of potential. But every 3rd or so time I hit the ball, it buries itself into the table and the computer gets a point, without bouncing. I love the setup though and physics of this game!
RE: Profile Pong Game Development - bplus - 10-26-2024
I may take a look at this again. It definitely needs to be dumbed down a little, just to keep interest in playing it. As I recall it worked alright, "buried itself into table"??, yikes!
update:
Oh, it buries into table AFTER you failed to return it properly to the other side ie it hits your side first after you hit it. That is intentional. Could maybe just stop the ball or have it roll off table for you to fetch like the real game
@Phil I am noticing needing more space too, as player.
RE: Profile Pong Game Development - SierraKen - 10-26-2024
Oh I see, thanks B+. I don't know the full rules of the game, I thought it was as easy as pong. lol
RE: Profile Pong Game Development - bplus - 10-26-2024
Ha! that is Pong.
Only on the serve is it suppose to hit your side first after your paddle contacts ball (which is NOT like tennis which is served over the net).
In other Pong games on computer I don't think we do an official serve. Profile Pong here comes a little closer. In reply #11, mnr... quoted the actual rule for serve in Ping Pong. I suppose it could start at table height and go up and you have to hit it before it comes back all the way down and hits table, maybe a spacebar to start ball up like the server tossing up the ball. ???
