To play the game, use your curser/mousepad to move the paddle from side to side. Don't let the ball touch the Ground
I tried to troubleshoot the issues that graceypie was trying to fix. I was able to get the score to reset at game over and have the words "GAME OVER" appear. I also made it so that you can press space bar to start the game over once you lose instead of always having to click the green flag, which can be awkward since the paddle moves based on where your mouse is. I also made it so that a greater range of angles coming off of the paddle are possible, and made it so that if the ball hits the left side of the paddle it bounces left, and if it hits the right side of the paddle it bounces right. I also made it so that the ball always start from a particular spot instead of just starting from where it last landed, which meant that sometimes, it was still touching the red bar. I learned a lot by remixing this! Thanks, graceypie for the inspiration to do so.
