Quick question about velocity and movement SVG

[dennisvg 1 Likes (Newbie)]

Hi GS,

 

I've got another question for some thing I'm trying:

In the codepen I've attached you'll see a quick set up for something like a pong game.

I managed to get the pong-handlers to move on click

 

Now to move the ball I was just exploring to use the ticker and the ball position++ 

- Is there a way to change the velocity of such movement?

 

Of course I have a lot of other challenges ahead, like the collision detection and the direction of the ball;

But that's for later (most probably I have to consult the forum again :-))

 

Hope to hear from you again!

You, my friend, will need to step into the wonderful and mesmerising world of MATHS.

 

Have a look at this channel by Keith Peters, it will teach you tons about calculating physics-like movement.
