How To
huh?

Why is this broken? Sometimes, the paddles bounce the ball back to where it came from.
I have checked every line of code twenty times, and I honestly don't see anything wrong with it. Please help.

What you have to remember is that AND OR are not english statements, they are MATHAMATICAL functions that calculate in specific order and calculate to a number that will decide what happens...
Now, remember in math that PARENTHESIS are critical to getting the correct answer, so... 2*3+1 will calculate as (2*3)+1 or 7... but what if you meant 2*(3+1) or 8....
So if you have OR mixed with AND you must do this...
IF (cond. OR cond.) AND cond. THEN
otherwise, unexpected results will occur ;)

And of course this will calculate differently than the above..
IF cond. OR (cond. AND cond.) THEN

Oh, I'm an absolute idiot! I always though Boolean expressions were calculated from left to right. A million thank yous!

@crosoft, i figured out that issue myself the hard way... only after trying everything i could think of did i finally find the solution ;)
@g9, if u scroll thru my stuff and find my pong game(s) and look thru my code, you will find a few more cool tricks ;)
