Quick Question in SDL
Author
Ok, I'm making my pong game in SDL, i'm now at the point to move the ball around. Give it a random vector at start and calculate the next vecto when it's hit something depending of the angle... I was wondering how exactly how i do that in SDL, i got no trouble animating the bar and setting up limit, but how can i animate an object always ( until it goes on the "win limit" )
If anyone has explanation or maybe a tutorials i would be happy.
And also I would like also how exactly work the "colision" between the ball and the bar, since the limit on the side are static it's not hard to say you can't go any further but since the bar keep moving it's a bit harder.
thank

i'v came up with something like that but it doens't seem to be working exactly like i want, the ball move way to fast.
If anyone have another idea ^^
void Move_Ball(int x, int y){ while ( !Check_Win(xpos3, ypos3) ) { xpos3 +=2; ypos3 +=2; }}bool Check_Win(int x, int y){ bool bOk = false; if ( y <= 0 ) { bOk = true; iPlayer1Score++; } else { if ( y >= 640) { bOk = true; iPlayer2Score++; } } return bOk;}If anyone have another idea ^^

OR maybe how do i add a small timer that would move the ball each 0.5 second of pause?

I found the funtion SDL_GetTicks(); and i think i could use it to make the ball move slower, but I'm not exactly sure how to use that, if someone know about it could you explain me please?
Now look like that
Now look like that
void Move_Ball(int x, int y){ float fTicks = SDL_GetTicks(); while ( !Check_Win(xpos3, ypos3) ) { if ( SDL_GetTicks() > fTicks+0.0001 ) { xpos3 +=25; ypos3 +=25; fTicks = SDL_GetTicks(); } }}

1. Sorry, tough people wouldn't see if i only edit i'll just say i did edit in title next time.
2. I took a look on your link, but that doens't seem to help me, i'm not sure what it do exactly, and how to make it work like i want.
I found 2 things thatm might help me :
Uint32 SDL_GetTicks(void);
void SDL_Delay(Uint32 ms);
but i don't know how to make one of them work corectly.
Don't use delay.
The following is an except from my Tetris clone
If 1000 miliseconds/1 second has passed, the piece would move down 1 unit (32 pixels in my case).

float Start_Time = 0;void Drop(){ if((SDL_GetTicks() - Start_Time) > (1000)) { Piece.Move(0,1); // Move the piece down Start_Time = SDL_GetTicks(); }}If 1000 miliseconds/1 second has passed, the piece would move down 1 unit (32 pixels in my case).

I understand what you have wrote, and how it should act, but since i did add it to my code it's load my system real bad and the game run, but i can't move anything and when i try to close the window i get an error.
Here's my code
is it because of my while that would be looping so fast that my system become loaded?

Sure
My code became a bit messy with all the change i tried to fix the speed of the ball, if there is something you don't understand in my logic ask.
