Holding the ball in pong

you got the key 5 where say hold2 = true for the right paddle

then here the attachment happens: attachedToPaddle2=true; here:

    if ( xpos >= 30+size/2) {
    if (ypos > playerpos2-50 && ypos < playerpos2+50) {
      if ( ! (hold2 && attachedToPaddle2)) {
        xspeed *= -1;
        yspeed += (ypos-playerpos2)/5;
      }
      attachedToPaddle2=true;
    }
  } else {
    attachedToPaddle2=false;
  }

wrong:
if ( xpos >= 30+size/2) {

you must check it against the right paddle :

if ( xpos >= width-30-size/2) {

ok so now to turn it on i need to type when the 5 key is pressed the hold becomes true?

123

you have this already!!!

else if (key == '5'){
     hold2 = !hold2; 
    }
124

but when i press 5 it still doesnt hold, maybe i misplaced the code

125

did you correct this

if ( xpos >= 30+size/2) {
    if (ypos > playerpos2-50 && ypos < playerpos2+50) {
      if ( ! (hold2 && attachedToPaddle2)) {
        xspeed *= -1;
        yspeed += (ypos-playerpos2)/5;
      }
      attachedToPaddle2=true;
    }
  } else {
    attachedToPaddle2=false;
  }

please find the error yourself, understand your programā€¦

i changed as you said the if ( xpos >= 30+size/2) to if ( xpos >= width-30-size/2), and added a if (hold2 == true)

127

does it work?
