Time for action — drawing the ball and the paddles

The next thing we want to draw is the ball and the paddles. Follow the ensuing steps:

  1. For this, we will add a single DrawCircle command and some DrawRect commands to the OnRender method.
    Method OnRender:Int()
    Cls 'Clear the canvas each frame
    DrawPlayField() 'Draw the play field
    DrawRect(pX, pY-30, 5, 60) 'Draw the player paddle
    DrawRect(eX[0], eY[0]-30, 5, 60) 'Draw the enemy paddle #1
    DrawRect(eX[1], eY[1]-30, 5, 60) 'Draw the enemy paddle #2
    DrawCircle(bX, bY, 5) 'Draw the ball with a radius of 5
    Return True
    
  2. Better "save" than sorry. So, you should save this script under a name of your choice and test it again.
  3. For the rest of the process, you can use the pre-built script Pongo_04.Monkey. Does your game look like this now?

  • Visually, we are 99 percent done. What's missing is the printing of the game score and a message about the game state. We will get to this soon.

The next thing we will add is the movement of the paddles and the ball.
