Pong Game
Hi I am making a pong game and everything seems to be working but when i have the ball movement accelerated by 1 after every score, the "wait 3 seconds" command, after someone has scored it doesn't work. Its suppose to go back in the middle and stay there for three seconds before it stops moving. When i take out the script for accelerating the ball movement after a score, the "wait 3 seconds" works. Can someone help me fix this?
Thank you

We can probably help you if you post the project on your account.
Yeah, I'm mostly inactive. I check in once in a while though. If you want to contact me, I have a contact form at my website, http://escratch.org

Press the share button at the top of the screen, then the "Share this project online..." button.
Then type in your login name (For you it is Sn33ze), password (your website account password), what you want the project to be named (for example, Pong), and then hit the "Ok" button.

Go to "Share" on the Scratch program, then when the drop-down menu comes down click on "Share this project online."
Then enter your username, password, and the title of the project where it says to, and add additional stuff like project notes and tags but you don't have to.
Then click "OK."

Re: Pong Game
I don't see the glitch in your project now. 
Good game! I'll find it later, but as of now, it's okay.

Re: Pong Game
The problem is that you have a lot of scripts that aren't grouped together, and you didn't tell all these scripts to wait when a goal is scored.
I condensed all your scripts into one larger script. This means the "wait 3 seconds" will apply to everything and you don't need the variable "Goal Just Scored".
Here is a picture of the scripts. I have also uploaded them to one of my accounts if you want to download the fixed version.
I've taken a long hiatus, but I still visit sometimes. Give me some time to answer any messages you post on my projects!

Ha 
Also, Sneeze, at the top of my script there is a block that says "set BallSpeed to 4". This should be moved outside the forever loop!
