not only the paddle but the bricks also. somehow it manages to squeeze in beside the brick and get the other bricks that are near. im gessing its linked with the paddle. this is a real problem with hit testing. would really like some help with this if you have any?

Thanks

Hey there good tutorial, I’m just having an issue with the score. Everything seems to work it is just when I start the game the score starts at 160 and not 0. When I hit the bricks they disappear and add another 10 to the score. Not sure what I’ve done wrong

Hi Mr. Chief,

A few people have asked me that… I haven’t had time to work on an answer, but my initial thoughts might be to create a second paddle movieclip much thinner than the first one and use it for the hit test. So, essentially the ball would have to hit the very top of the paddle only in order to bounce back. This is only an idea, haven’t tested it yet. I know hitTest in Flash isn’t an “exact” science, so it the “paddle” hit test is too small/thin, it may not work correctly. If I can find some time, I’ll try to look into a better solution for the bounce.

Thanks for reading!

Hi there,
I wondered if you could give a solution to stop the ball going through the sides of the paddle? I have followed a different tutorial for my breakout based game but still have the same problem. I have tried inserting a movie clip at each end of the paddle reversing the X and Y values but this creates an unusual bounce.
