Hi, New to Scratch need help with my first game!
Hi, I am new to scratch and want to get into programming. I am trying to create a basic pong game but cant get the ball to ping of the bat correctly. Can anyone help?

Hi Dstones 
Most Pong games can be simple or complicated, but I'll post a few projects you could download and look at in a minute.
Edit:
This one is controlled by the mouse (Might be different than what you want), but the bouncing scripts used are the same. http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/jamie/1518
This may be more or less what you're after . Two lines that the ball bounces off. http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Rotation/722460
I suggest downloading these projects and maybe a few other Pong-based games and looking at the scripts. This will probably be the easiest way to learn the pong scripts...

The best way to study a project like that is to tweak it around or take it apart. I'm not good at describing it perfectly, but you can just try and play with it.

Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.
