Game Dev Journey

Create a New Scene and a RigidBody2D as the Root

Rename it to Paddle2
Add a Sprite2D as a child and use Paddle_2.png as the texture

Add a CollisionShape2D and enclose the paddle in a

New RectangleShape2D

Add a New Script to the Paddle2 Node

This will be the CPU player. The paddle will track the ball and move into its path.

Export a speed variable which we can adjust in the editor.

We need a reference to the Ball so that we can track its movement

The rest of the code is in the physics process function since the paddle repeatedly moves towards the ball.

First we need to calculate the direction vector from the ball to the paddle so we know which way to move the paddle.

Then we can move the paddle in that direction at the speed we chose.

Save your scene and add an enemy paddle to your Board scene.

Test the game so far.
