this is what i came up with for moving the ball in a pong game i am creating.....all the ball does is travel at a diagonal until it gets stuck in the lower-right corner.....i can't get the balll to richochet or move around the dimensions of the window.....also, i cant find a good was of clear the ball graphic without changing the backfround color.
