Class pongo Extends App Field pX:Float = 630.0 'X pos on the right side of the canvas Field pY:Float = 240.0 'Y pos in the middle of the canvas
2. Next will be the data fields for the ball. X/Y position and its X/Y speed.

Field bdY_Float = 1.5 'Y speed of the ball Field eX:Float[] = [5.0, 55.0] 'X pos of both paddles Field eY:Float[] = [240.0, 240.0] 'Y...
