Forums » Help » Changing the speed of the puck in Pong

I recently purchased Impact and am walking through the examples to get familiar with it. Using the Pong example, I tried to speed up the puck by adjusting the velocity from what Dominic has in the example of this.vel.x = -200; and this.vel.y = 100; to double and triple the values and the puck always moves at the same speed.

What am I missing. Shouldn't setting the initial velocity higher speed up the pucks movement?

Thanks for any assistance.

Ken, you need to set the maximum velocity in the init portion of your puck entity. Something like this:

this.maxVel.x = 400;
this.maxVel.y = 400;

By default the maximum velocity for both x and y are set at 100.

Ah! Thank you!
