Pong Game Won't Work

[SteveCRM]

I am trying to make a pong type game to test my skills, and this won't work. It is screwed up in the part where it hits the paddle.

'Bounces Puck Around Screen
Image1.Move Image1.Left + DeltaX, Image1.Top + DeltaY
If Image1.Left < ScaleLeft Then DeltaX = 100
If Image1.Left + Image1.Width > ScaleWidth + ScaleWidth Then
DeltaX = -100
End If
If Image1.Top < ScaleTop Then DeltaY = 100
If Image1.Top + Image1.Height > ScaleHeight + ScaleTop Then
DeltaY = -100
End If

'Bounces Off Of Paddle
If Image1.Left < Label1.Left Then DeltaX = 100
If Image1.Left + Image1.Width > Label1.Width + Label1.Width Then
DeltaX = -100
End If
If Image1.Top < Label1.Top Then DeltaY = 100
If Image1.Top + Image1.Height > Label1.Height + Label1.Top Then
DeltaY = -100
End If

Ok here's what u need:
3 textboxs named text1, toptxt, lefttxt(make each text 90)
2 shapes, a small circle , a bar rectangle like an I
Optional:
a line in the middle etc. art

Private Sub Text1_Change()
On Error Resume Next
If Text1.Text = 2 Then Shape2.Top = Shape2.Top + 240
If Text1.Text = 8 Then Shape2.Top = Shape2.Top - 240
Text1.Text = ""
End Sub

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
Shape1.Top = Shape1.Top + toptxt.Text
Shape1.Left = Shape1.Left + lefttxt.Text
If Shape1.Top + Shape1.Height + 480 >= Form1.Height Then toptxt.Text = -90
If Shape1.Left <= 0 Then lefttxt.Text = 90
If Shape1.Top <= 0 Then toptxt = 90
If Shape1.Top >= Shape2.Top And Shape1.Top + Shape1.Width < Shape2.Top + Shape2.Height And Shape1.Left + Shape1.Width + 60 >= Shape2.Left Then lefttxt.Text = -90
If Shape1.Left + Shape1.Width >= Form1.Width Then MsgBox "GAME OVER!", 16, "GAME OVER": End
End Sub

Hopefully you have VB5 this should just be able to be pasted. you can change the numbers etc. The basics are here took me only a few min but you should be able to expand on this concept.

Oh yeah an explanation:
text1.text is where you can type 8 and 2 to move the paddle horizontally
toptxt keeps track of the y change
lefttxt keeps track of x change
just put the stuff where it belong set the timer to a smaller interval for harder larger for easier.(you should have a timer if u didn't realize that)
the rest should be self explanatory
