Hello, All

I've got yet another problem. :(, I've been trying to make my own Breakout clone, i've got a pad that can move left and right and a ball that bounces around. Now if i leave the pad alone the ball bounces around without any lag or slow down...but soon as i start moving the pad both the pad and the ball slows down. this is very frustrating as i've just got everything working...

Wend
End

Could it be due to the fact i've got to many IF statements?
