Pretty cool to predict the ball ahead with the shots splitting up the field, simple but effective risk/reward once the ball gets faster with needing to do an edge hit. Had multiple 10-10 losses before getting the win, tense. Does it get harder as you score points? I thought so but hard to tell entirely.
The one situation that got me multiple times was a low angle shot turning straight because blue was at the edge and couldn't hit the ball like the AI wanted to? Not sure if I'm diagnosing that right. I felt like I got the hang of predicting somewhat how blue would hit it, except those cases.
You're thinking the ball hits the wall right before hitting blue? It's likely it hits the middle of the paddle, or near the middle, which does straighten out the direction of the ball. I kept the AI of the blue paddle very simple, so that's just a funny coincident, which I kept in.
Unless you're thinking of the situation where the ball gets stuck between the wall and the blue paddle. That's a bug and will be fixed
Yeah the AI hits it with the middle straightening it, I can make sense of it in retrospect I just never managed to predict it in action, but I'm sure with more time I could.
