You move the big green paddle anywhere you want hitting the white ball to try and aim for the moving goal up above. At the same time try not to have the white ball hit the larger moving red ball. When the red ball hits the white ball, you lose a white ball. You start out with 5. I don't know if anyone has made this yet, but I think it's fun. My high score so far is 17.
I used Chat GPT for some of the math code because I've always been terrible with math. But tell me what you think, thanks.

Interesting game!
Saves a step of unneeded calcs:
Code: (Select All) radAngle = _Atan2(ballY - mouseY, ballX - mouseX) ' * 180 / 3.14159265
'radAngle = angle * 3.14159265 / 180
_Atan2 returns a radian angle, no need to convert it to degrees and then back again.

Nice one Ken; it's always good to see new variations on a theme! Nice smooth action, with good parameters (even I scored 3)!

Cool game Ken! A different "spin" on pong, but still cool... My first attempt scored '2'... Is that good? Do I get a prize? lol
May your journey be free of incident. Live long and prosper.
