Ok I've just recently written a ping-pong game after seeing some other people’s efforts at Planet Source Code and thought I'll have a go.

The game works fine? I mean it runs, the ball bounces around the play area, deflects from the pads when they are moved in the way, points add up when either the left or right wall is hit. The game also has other fancy features and gives the user option to change names and wall and pad colour etc.

What I want to know is when is the ball supposed to speed up, If any off you have played the original version on those old consoles please explain to me how the ball is to behave when striking a wall or a players pad.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!
