i am very new to scratch and i am trying to perfect the game of pong as a learning experience, i am stuck on a few things, i cant figure out how to get the paddle to work as a CPU so you wont have to play against your self and i cant figure out how to add a point limit so the game will stop if you reach so much points, if i can get some help that would be great, thank you

You upload I will make the changes in remix

i think i have, i shared it so you check it out on my acount http://scratch.mit.edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/users/Davidtcg/

For a cpu paddle then something like;
In the bat scripts;
if y position of ball > y position of bat then
change y by someamount
else
change y by -someamount

The bigger someamount is the faster the cpu bat will move. You could also surround the above script with an if random 1 to 100 > 25 then in this case the cpu will move 75 % of the time so you can make the cpu play better of worse by changing those numbers too.



For points make a variable called points; You then need to initialise points to 0 when gf flag clicked and change points by 1 at some point too.

If you don't have a main game loop then put this in a forever block on the stage;

if points > limit
stop all scripts

could you share the project so we could get an idea on how exactly to help
