I worked over 8 hours on this game so far, but I can't figure out how to make the oval flippers collide with the ball efficiently. So far, they work around 50% of the time. Much of this code is from when B+ helped me with hocky puck colliders awhile back and another big part of this code is math from ChatGPT, such as making the ovals turn on the axis at the end of the oval, for the flippers.
You can still play this game if you keep pressing the 2 CTRL keys to move the flippers many times to hit the ball. But it would be nice if I could fix this, thanks. You can probably tell a lot of it has been made experimenting with numbers, etc.
I'm just zomped out. lol

'The paddles only work about 50 percent of the time and I'm not sure how to fix that.
'OItherwise if you keep pressing the paddles they will work.
