I wrote a real funny game using Allegro (with some help from somebody that I
will not mention).

Its a simple bat and ball game!  The only thing is that the ball always
comes back to same place, so basically you can always leave the bat in the
same place!

I have put the code on-line at
http://www.cracknell.freeuk.com/misc/paddle_src.zip
Is there a simple way of realistically making the ball move on slightly
different paths without the movement being irregular?

Another real funny thing is that this game is secretly built into another
game called Meteor (by James Bunting)!
 http://www.aic.co.uk/~james/games/meteor ).  Just type "paddle" at the game
console to play it! :D
