Try not to let the ball touch the ground! just use the mouse pointer and that's how you control the paddle. To change the color you just use the Up arrow to change the ball. The down arrow to change the Paddle color and the left arrow for the ground to change color. Last but not least you can hit the right arrow and change the background!! Comment down below what your high score was or any glitches/ bugs you found.
Thank you, Ju--13 for the original; I just added a couple more backdrops and a high score variable.
