im working on a pong game, and thus i want to integrate an AI system. after a bit of planning the only way i could think of doing it would be to have one of the platform thingies (the AI one) follow the ball, but that would make impossible to beat it would it not? so is there any other way to do this?

You could have it follow the ball, but move the platform more slowly than the ball can move.

not to stupid :)
but noob question, how can i make it slower than the ball? the only method for slowing things down or speeding them up that i have found as of yet is the FPS regulating.

I don't know all that much about this kind of thing but here's my suggestion:
Have a variable that will be used to measure the direction of the paddle movement. Any time the ball moves to the other side of the paddle, have the variable switch to another value that will represent movement in that direction. You could have the variable flip between negative and positive values for direction. Then you could implement paddle movement separately from the ball's movement.

Right now you might take 1 of the paddles y variable.
So instead you take say 0.8 making it 0.2 pixels per frame slower than something which has 1 taken off it's x value every frame. Get what I'm going at??

Please, write clearly with proper structure. Double spacing makes the text feel un-jointed, Capitalizing Every Word Means People Stop Before Every Word Sub-Consciously Which Is A Pain In The Backside, and use code tags! (The right most styling box).

i did it like this, and it worked pretty good.
i checked if the y value of the paddle was less than the y value of the ball + its height. if this was true then the paddle would start moving up.
then i checked if the y value of the paddle + its height was greater than the y value of the ball. f this was true then the paddle would start moving down.
i hope that makes sense :)

Cool, does the paddle move faster or slower than the ball?

it moves at the same phase as the ball, howerver it start moving after the ball has past the paddle in a way
i think i am gonna change it in the near future thought (it doesn't add to much of a challange to the game), but for a first AI im fairly happy with it lol.
