Press the green flag or any key to start (or restart) the game. When the baseball hits a paddle, the game stops. When you press the green flag, you will have 3 seconds to get ready. When you die, there will be a 2.9 second delay for sound. The variables will show when the 3 seconds end. Also, the 55 second timer will only start right when you see the timer appear.
Without the tutorial, this would have taken way longer than it did. Even though this doesn't really look like anything that would be based off of the pong game tutorial. But instead of hitting the paddles and not hitting the edge, I made it so that you have to avoid all 4 paddles and only hit the edges. In under 55 seconds.
