Well just stick with it. Ability in maths is an awesomely useful skill, and it only gets better later on

Thanks man, i'm totally grateful for your help, i owe you!
Edit: Sorry if it sounded arrogant when i said i'm good with math..

Hey guys, sorry for the double post. I have an idea, will it work if i'll make that the direction of the ball will be decided by the place it hits the player paddle? like if it'll hits the left, the ball will be thrown to the left or if on the right, to the right etc. ?

yep, and that should be easy to do :D

It all depends on what you want your game mechanics to do. If that's what you want it to do, then go for it. If you want it to speed up or slow down based on the angle of impact from the center of the paddle you could do that. It's entirely up to you, and the math isn't going to be terribly difficult for anything you can come up for a pong game.

I tried it, and it works nicely. thank you all for the help!
