1 00:00:01,030 --> 00:00:07,300 Hey, this lesson, more tweaks and adjustments, so we did want to add in this Storper option where 2 00:00:07,300 --> 00:00:11,800 the ball will actually sit on top of the paddle and it's actually not going to be moving or it's not 3 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,930 going to be in play until the player wants to place it into play. 4 00:00:15,250 --> 00:00:21,520 So creating another object within the player in play by default, we're going to set this to false and 5 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,710 then apply this condition where we need to. 6 00:00:23,890 --> 00:00:26,410 And this is also going to be sitting on top of the stopper. 7 00:00:26,530 --> 00:00:31,370 And we're also going to update this inplay value when we do the key presses. 8 00:00:31,630 --> 00:00:39,010 So when the key press is whenever the key is pressed and player in play is not true, that we're going 9 00:00:39,010 --> 00:00:40,120 to set it to true. 10 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,650 We're going to check to see if key 38 is being pressed. 11 00:00:44,890 --> 00:00:46,230 And that's the up arrow. 12 00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:50,320 So you can apply a few different keys if you wanted to, to this function as well. 13 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:55,180 And we're checking to see if player in play is not true. 14 00:00:55,540 --> 00:01:01,060 And if that's the case, then we're going to take player in play and we're going to set that one to 15 00:01:01,060 --> 00:01:07,870 true so that our way to toggle that and that will give the player the ability to launch the ball whenever 16 00:01:07,870 --> 00:01:09,140 they're ready to launch it. 17 00:01:09,430 --> 00:01:14,320 So we need to add in a few more things where we don't want the ball actually to be moving or we want 18 00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:19,660 to adjust the ball movement to be in line with what's happening with the paddle because we're sitting 19 00:01:19,660 --> 00:01:22,130 on top of the paddle, has to move along side with that. 20 00:01:22,180 --> 00:01:28,780 So going down to where we have the ball move and update the so we can have a condition that will check 21 00:01:28,780 --> 00:01:32,110 to see if the ball is on the paddle. 22 00:01:32,710 --> 00:01:34,090 So take move ball. 23 00:01:34,090 --> 00:01:40,180 And we're going to move that just to just under here where we've updated the paddle position because 24 00:01:40,180 --> 00:01:43,390 we want to use that to also update the ball position. 25 00:01:43,660 --> 00:01:50,050 And we're going to apply our condition here to check to see if player inplay. 26 00:01:51,950 --> 00:01:52,990 Is not true. 27 00:01:53,030 --> 00:01:53,900 So if it's false. 28 00:01:55,700 --> 00:02:01,970 Then that means that it's waiting on the paddle, otherwise we know we can move the ball naturally. 29 00:02:01,970 --> 00:02:05,590 However, the ball needs to move so we can apply the move ball function there. 30 00:02:05,870 --> 00:02:10,310 And if it's waiting on the paddle, we're going to create another function that will be or we actually 31 00:02:10,310 --> 00:02:15,190 probably don't even need a function for that where we can update the ball position directly here. 32 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:20,030 We're updating the ball style and updating the ball style. 33 00:02:20,030 --> 00:02:24,230 Top position will be equal to whatever the paddle. 34 00:02:25,550 --> 00:02:33,590 Offset and we use these offset values again, so that offset top and then subtracting roughly around 35 00:02:33,590 --> 00:02:38,260 20 and we'll have to check that just to make sure that we did get that properly. 36 00:02:38,690 --> 00:02:46,430 And then the ball style left position is going to be equal to whatever the current position left is. 37 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,000 And as well, we need to add to that so we can take that current position. 38 00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:57,430 So this is going to be the same as the left and add 50 to the current position. 39 00:02:58,480 --> 00:02:59,440 So see what happens. 40 00:02:59,470 --> 00:03:06,880 So now we've got the ball sitting on top of the paddle and we move it along and then when I press the 41 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,010 upkeep, you're going to see that it actually moves alongside. 42 00:03:10,420 --> 00:03:16,810 So this situation where the ball has moved, now we have a function that we can set. 43 00:03:16,990 --> 00:03:20,950 We can set this in play, and that means that's going to be sitting on top of the paddle. 44 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:27,250 So when it goes, whatever it falls off, we can apply that where we're sitting the ball on top of the 45 00:03:27,250 --> 00:03:27,730 paddle. 46 00:03:27,910 --> 00:03:33,340 And that will give us the ability to set it and move it along side. 47 00:03:33,670 --> 00:03:39,820 So whenever it falls off the edge, the starting position is going to be wherever the stopper is setting 48 00:03:39,820 --> 00:03:40,210 it to. 49 00:03:40,630 --> 00:03:48,880 So taking that stopper position stopper function that we created earlier, now we can use that game 50 00:03:49,030 --> 00:03:59,080 player in play value and set that to force and then also take the player ball direction. 51 00:03:59,350 --> 00:04:04,930 We need to make an adjustment for that because we saw that as well, that we need to always set it to 52 00:04:04,930 --> 00:04:09,390 the negative so that it will always start out decreasing in value. 53 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,900 So moving up and also the ball direction by default, we're going to set it to zero. 54 00:04:14,470 --> 00:04:16,330 And actually I'm going to break this off. 55 00:04:16,330 --> 00:04:21,520 And the reason I'm going to do this is breaking it off of the current position is so that we do have 56 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,830 a function where we can reset the position. 57 00:04:24,130 --> 00:04:29,200 So let's do a quick adjustment here and we'll call it waiting on paddle. 58 00:04:29,740 --> 00:04:34,510 And what this function is going to do is this is going to take care of the ball position so that we 59 00:04:34,510 --> 00:04:39,820 can call to this function over here and we're going to reuse that same function where we're going to 60 00:04:39,820 --> 00:04:41,170 position the ball position. 61 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:48,580 So instead of the current position, we're going to take the current offset left position and we're 62 00:04:48,580 --> 00:04:53,030 going to add 50 to it in order to position it on the paddle. 63 00:04:53,230 --> 00:05:00,520 So now, whenever we need to position it and we within Storper, we can call to that function and that 64 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:05,470 will reposition where the ball is sitting and place it on top of the paddle. 65 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,340 And then when we're moving the paddle, then we can see where the ball is going to be sitting. 66 00:05:09,610 --> 00:05:14,320 And there's one more that we wanted to add in as well, and that is to stop the animation. 67 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,220 So we've have an option where we can give the animation frame a name. 68 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:23,440 And when we start the animation, if we call it a name, that we can access it. 69 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,470 We can also use that to stop the animation. 70 00:05:26,860 --> 00:05:28,960 So you can just call it player any. 71 00:05:29,470 --> 00:05:36,460 And then within itself, as we are calling itself, we're going to also give it that same name so that 72 00:05:36,460 --> 00:05:37,840 we can always refer to it. 73 00:05:38,050 --> 00:05:43,930 And then within Storper, we have an option here to cancel the animation subframe so we can go window, 74 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:49,540 cancel animation frame, and then we need to specify the name of the animation frame that we want to 75 00:05:49,540 --> 00:05:51,200 stop and cancel. 76 00:05:51,550 --> 00:05:59,410 So I think we're ready to try that and we can move the ball and sitting on top of it went off and we 77 00:05:59,410 --> 00:06:02,560 can adjust the lives so that we have a little bit longer gameplay. 78 00:06:03,010 --> 00:06:08,110 And sometimes it does take a few times where you have to play through the game just to make sure you've 79 00:06:08,110 --> 00:06:10,330 got all of the functionality that you were looking for. 80 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:16,360 So see where decreasing in lives and whenever it's running off, then the ball is sitting on top of 81 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,650 the paddle and when we move the paddle, the ball moves along side. 82 00:06:19,900 --> 00:06:23,140 Well, also, I just noticed that it's not directly centered. 83 00:06:23,260 --> 00:06:29,020 So maybe we'll want to make an adjustment to where we've got the offset, whatever the ball is sitting 84 00:06:29,020 --> 00:06:29,860 on top of the paddle. 85 00:06:30,100 --> 00:06:33,430 So we still have that within that one option here. 86 00:06:33,430 --> 00:06:39,580 So we can maybe even move it down a little bit and move it over to the left hand side because the ball 87 00:06:39,580 --> 00:06:39,820 hits. 88 00:06:39,820 --> 00:06:42,760 The paddle was one hundred, the ball was 20. 89 00:06:42,910 --> 00:06:46,840 So taking half of that should give us a good starting point for the ball. 90 00:06:46,990 --> 00:06:49,780 And we can also move that down a little bit more as well. 91 00:06:49,930 --> 00:06:54,720 So it looks more like it's sitting on top of the paddle and you can adjust and tweak it as needed. 92 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,680 So I think that was a little bit too much. 93 00:06:57,130 --> 00:07:01,930 And sometimes we do need to make a few little minor adjustments to get at work in the way that we need 94 00:07:01,930 --> 00:07:02,100 it. 95 00:07:02,140 --> 00:07:06,250 Coming up next, we're going to do a final run-Through of the game, make sure that we've got all of 96 00:07:06,250 --> 00:07:10,720 the functionality that we set out to produce and also do a quick code review. 97 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:15,580 And I just noticed one of the thing that we do need to adjust and we still have the ability to run the 98 00:07:15,580 --> 00:07:16,750 paddle off the screen. 99 00:07:16,900 --> 00:07:18,490 So we want to create those boundaries. 100 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:19,720 So that's coming up next. 101 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,990 One more tweak, an adjustment lesson and then a code review. 102 00:07:23,350 --> 00:07:24,550 So that's still all yet to come.
