one of the first things i showed this forum was pong :D and now ive started learning delphi i though were better to start than were i started with scar. of course scar makes games look far to easy.. (h) but ive learnt alot making this project and it only took me a few hours..

yup, my old script ive used the same principle just turned it into delphi :D runs smoother, more acurate and its standalone everything i whanted it 2 do that scar couldent :p just whanted to know what people though of how id made the game and if there are any sujestions on how i could make games better than just using bitmaps.

Hm, it's a good game, would be even better if you added some form for gravity to the ball with a gravity formula. :)

Pretty nice. My suggestions:
Use a label instead of a text box
Draw onto a TImage instead of the form
Move your "TForm1.FormCreate" procedure's contents to initialization

People use simple canvas drawing and such to make games in SCAR, but if you're using delphi, please, use a game engine ;) http://sourceforge.net/projects/jedi-sdl

This engine will be integrated into SCAR 4 at some point for people developing games.
