Use the mouse to control the paddle by moving the mouse across the screen and not by grabbing the paddle. If you let the ball touch the red area, it's game over. The speed of the ball increases the higher score you have.
Check out @kabeergupta and his original project. His score system is different and makes for very different and fun gameplay. His project makes the ball point in a random direction after hitting the paddle rather than my project which causes it to bounce as if it bounced off a wall, I am by no means My high score is 42, can you beat it? -UPDATE LOG- 12/3/2020 fixed ball-to-paddle collision glitch and improved the way the collision works. Also, ball now starts pointing in a random direction, rather than a set direction adding more randomness. THIS CHANGE WILL IMPROVE GAMEPLAY SIGNIFICANTLY!!!
