Found a old NESMAKER prototype I had in progress before project hexagon

TLDR; I had a broken computer at the end of 2020 and saved a game I had in progress today through a great Idea
Ignore the meme music I put in there. and don't expect me to continue making this until the end of production of Project Hexagon
but say hello to the years from now and I mean YEARS... project volley:

Okay, how did you make the bouncing ball in NESMaker? I've been trying to figure this out for months. It has to bounce in a different direction when against the wall than against the floor or ceiling. Please share the secret!

It's been a minute since I last remember working on this but here's my memory lmao:
The game checks who hit the ball last for one thing and secondly you need to track the ball's location on the x (or sometimes y axis) I also added a second hit box for the paddles (as complicated as that was) hope that summary helped! If not I'll make a full tutorial when I fully remember by looking at my organized code.
It'll be a minute though. Taking a gameDev break so I have a vacation with my family for a week

One more thing to NOTE! the ball unfortunately struggles with anything less than full acceleration. Making my idea to have it get faster over time not work... yet anyway. Just preparing you for what I have so far if you need more help man.

ALSO if you mean off the paddle into the bounds that requires a dual hit box it's hard to explain but I just mirrored the paddle object's hit box vertically so that it bounces in the direction required to not bounce back... hope that helps!

Funnily enough I am CONSIDERING making a tutorial video for how I made this due to my planned game using this pong-ish stuff being more original than this. But that video won't be put until probably at least September due to my life getting busy again

Once I do make the tutorial though I will go back to my fire-emblemish project that I will Kickstart for future sales probably again at earliest September (but expect this even later then my youtube tutorial maybe)

Just remembered yesterday that tiles don't exist in my from scratch game I showed here... might bite me in the ass later but find it funny that it'd basically the opposite of my game of current priority
(Shill here shill here) Project Hexagon!

@Bucket Mouse will still make a tutorial for you later if you desire btw

The trade off will be teaching me something if Infinitely simpler! (If you can't thats fine too) help me with a change tile at position macro given to me by @JamesNES!

@Lord_Klump_Of_Kongo_Bongo Could you edit your messages to add more things to say... instead of creating a new message each time, please. It's really unpleasant to read.

I am really curious to know how you made a PONG with NESmaker. I don't think anyone made it... just because the engine of NESmaker is not good for that.
Seing your video, looks like it was made from a non-nesmaker tutorial.
So, yes, I am curious too.

Sorry for the spam-like posts that just the way my brain works... will release a tutorial as a Christmas gift if you give me time

What do you need help with?

Sorry for the late response (long day)

ChangeTileAtPosition Variable?

Before you ask, ChangeTileAtPosition.asm is a custom macro made by @JamesNES my problem is that it requires a dual variable Ex: ChangeTileAtPosition #$08, BothX&YVariables How do I combine two variables into one? I did look at the 6502 site sent by James, but yeah this should be a simple...
