2D Gaming - How to reflect a ball off the bat?
- by sid
Hi there
I am pretty new to XNA & game dev and am stuck at ball reflection. My ball is reflecting once it hits the bat, but only in one angle, no matter which angle the bat is at.
Here's the code:
if (BallRect.Intersects(BatRect))
{
Vector2 NormBallVelocity = Ball.velocity;
NormBallVelocity.Normalize();
NormBallVelocity = Vector2.Reflect(Ball.velocity, NormBallVelocity);
Ball.velocity = NormBallVelocity;
}
The ball is retracting its way back.
How do I make it look like the ball is reflecting off the bat?
I have seen other posts but they are on 3D front I am too new to translate it to 2D terms...
Thanks
Sid
