Lol, i tried to do this:

newspeedx = (ball_x - player_x)

;Blah blah the rest of the movement function

If RectsOverlap(ball_x,ball_y,15,15,player_x,player_y,100,20) Then bal_ydir = -1 bal_xdir = newspeedx

notice the:

bal_xdir = newspeedx

after the collision with the paddle, but when it hits it flys off at a million miles per hour to the right. And returns to normal speed when it hits the wall and bounces
