I really didn't get to finish the game I was trying to create. When working on it, I got stuck on the part when I had to change distance to hit and then put in the code and make it pass the doctest. Every time I tried i always got 2 out of 4 fail. I really didn't know that making a game would have been this difficult.

def hit(bx, by, r, px, py, h):
"""
>>> hit(760, 100, 10, 780, 100, 100)
False
>>> hit(770, 100, 10, 780, 100, 100)
True
>>> hit(770, 200, 10, 780, 100, 100)
True
>>> hit(770, 210, 10, 780, 100, 100)
False
"""
The above was what I had to make pass the doctest. From my program that I'll be adding as the last part of todays blog message, I had put return (h <= by) and (bx <= r) and had to fit somewhere into the program that it would return true. Also with (h <=by) I had to make sure it told that the ball was between the bottom and the top of the paddle, and then for (bx <= r) I had to make sure that the horizontal location of the ball is less than or equal to the radius away from the front of the paddle.

The above link is my program.
So as Mr. Elkner said, come Monday hes gonna help me with this program. Also my homework for the weekend is to get a notebook for Monday.
