Allegro Pong Game
Author
i've been quite bored lately so i decided to make another Pong game. the last one was pretty easy so i decideed to add acceleration and friction to my paddles/ball. unfortunatley none of my collisions so far have worked.
help would be really, really, really good.
#include <allegro.h>
#define SCREEN_WIDTH 1400
#define SCREEN_HEIGHT 1050
BITMAP* buffer;
void Move_Paddle();
void Move_Ball();
void Draw();
class Ball
{
public:
int x;
int y;
int xv;
int yv;
int radius;
};
class Paddle
{
public:
int x;
int y;
int yv;
int width;
int length;
};
Ball ball;
Paddle player1;
int main(int argc, char** argv[])
{
allegro_init();
install_keyboard();
set_color_depth(16);
set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT, SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT, 0, 0);
buffer = create_bitmap(SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT);
ball.x = SCREEN_WIDTH/2;
ball.y = SCREEN_HEIGHT/2;
ball.xv = 2;
ball.yv = 2;
ball.radius = 20;
player1.length = SCREEN_HEIGHT/6;
player1.width = 20;
player1.x = SCREEN_WIDTH - player1.width;
player1.y = (SCREEN_HEIGHT/2) - (player1.length/2);
player1.yv = 0;
bool game_running = true;
while(game_running == true)
{
if(key[KEY_ESC])
{
game_running = false;
}
Move_Paddle();
Move_Ball();
Draw();
}
return 0;
}
END_OF_MAIN();
void Move_Paddle()
{
player1.y += player1.yv;
player1.yv *= 0.9;
if(key[KEY_UP])
{
player1.yv = -3;
}
else if(key[KEY_DOWN])
{
player1.yv = 3;
}
if(key[KEY_UP] && player1.y + player1.yv + -3 != 0)
{
player1.yv += -3;
}
else if(key[KEY_DOWN] && player1.y + player1.yv + 3 != SCREEN_HEIGHT)
{
player1.yv += 3;
}
}
void Move_Ball()
{
ball.x += ball.xv;
ball.y += ball.yv;
int h = 0;
h++;
if(h == 100)
{
if(ball.yv > 0)
{
ball.yv ++;
}
else if(ball.yv < 0)
{
ball.yv--;
}
if(ball.xv > 0)
{
ball.xv++;
}
else if(ball.xv < 0)
{
ball.xv--;
}
h = 0;
}
if(ball.x == 0 + ball.radius || ball.x == SCREEN_WIDTH - ball.radius)
{
ball.xv *= -1;
}
else if(ball.y == 0 + ball.radius || ball.y == SCREEN_HEIGHT - ball.radius)
{
ball.yv *= -1;
}
}
void Draw()
{
clear_bitmap(buffer);
rectfill(buffer, player1.x, player1.y, player1.x + player1.width, player1.y + player1.length, makecol(0, 0, 255));
circlefill(buffer, ball.x, ball.y, ball.radius, makecol(0, 255, 0));
draw_sprite(screen, buffer, 0, 0);
}
can anybody see any problems with my code?
One thing I noticed is that you could use classes more effectively. For example:
class Paddle { private: int x; int y; int yv; int width; int length; public: Move(); Draw();}
Hey dude,
I think that this is where you're doing your collisions
The first thing I notice is that you're using '==', I would definitely use < or > because it might never actually end up equalling whatever you're comparing to. So, for example,
By the way, doesn't Allegro use SCREEN_W instead of SCREEN_WIDTH?
And also, you can get the cool code windows by using (source)(/source) but replacing '(' with '['

There is no code for collision detection in your program.
The paddle moves out of the window, there is no collision being detected there.
You must also check when the ball will collide with the paddle. That is currently not being checked for in your program.
So keeping it simple:
1. Check for the paddle and ball remaining in the window
2. Check for the ball and paddle colliding with each other.
Decided to have a go at the code...
I removed the paddle friction, as it kinda confused me at the start...
A very basic collision detection is in my code

Here is the sample code:
