Please help with bounding box/sprite collision in darkBASIC pro
- by user1601163
So I just recently learned BASIC and figured I would try making a clone of pong on my own in darkBASIC pro, and I made everything else work just fine except for the part that makes the ball bounce off the paddle. And yes I'm aware that the game is not yet finished. The error is on lines 39-51
EVERYTHING IS 2D.
