• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

im tryna make my game run nice and smoothly

[wild folio]

[spice panther]

i have

[thin vector]

Why is def move inside an if / else statement?

[spice panther]

its their temporarily but it shouldnt matter i believe

[thin vector]

Are you going for non realistic bounces on purpose?

I have always just used an x increment and y increment and changed the direction on a wall/paddle hit by changing the sign of the increment

The sin cos seems overkill

[spice panther]

wuts unrealistic about it? how would i make it more realistic?

[thin vector]

The video shows hitting the side and bouncing near vertical.

[spice panther]

the directions are random and it bugged there coz somethings wrong with it so it changes direction multiple times around thats spot

[thin vector]

If the ball is moving at an angle and hits the top/bottom the y move should not change just the x move should only change by direction not velocity

With your sin/cos and normalization it is hard to know what is happening

[spice panther]

it just gets the angle of the random direction, idk wuts hard to understand about that

[thin vector]

I guess you need someone smarter to help then. If I can't follow the math I can't help. Sorry. Wish you luck.
