Hello, I just started programming a pong game (SFML), but I have trouble with understanding movement of the ball and paddle. I just wanted some good resources about those things that I could adapt in other games in the future too(basically about velocity and how to use it) or maybe i should just google it and read everything i can find, or maybe pick up a math book? Thank you in advance.
The Unity manual has some basic teaching on vectors here, most of which could probably be applied to SFML as well.
I don't have a resource off-hand but the one piece of advice given to me that I found invaluable is "to always remember units". If you have a distance divided by time its velocity and so on and so forth. It made physics and engineering classes in college much easier, so it should help you out to.
