In line 8, you declare the field 'ball' to hold an Actor object; yet, you are assigning a List object to it.

What would It be to fix it, nbtw that line is from the code u gave me earlier

Actor ball = (Actor)getWorld().getObjects(Ball.class).get(0);

Thank you danpost. I have noticed that when the computer launches the ball the computer's paddle moves randomly what would the best way to fix this be

I believe, but not certain, that this code in the Paddle class (starting around line 59) is causing the movement you are talking about:

    if(y < 100) {
        y = y + Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(200);
    }
    else if(y > 400) {
        y = y - Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(200);
    }
    setLocation(getX(), y);

Also the ball can get stuck on the top and bottom of the paddle and then blounce in a random direction. Is there a way to stop the ball from getting stuck

What would make it so that the computer will choose a random location and then release the ball

Something like this might work:

if (computer's paddle and has ball) // pseudo-code
{
  int y = Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(getWorld().getHeight()-200)+100;
  while (getY() != y)
  {
    setLocation(getX(), getY()+(int)Math.signum(y-getY()));
    Greenfoot.delay(2);
  }
  Greenfoot.delay(40);
  releaseBall();
}

You will probably need a double conditional to determine bouncing off a paddle. In the Ball class:
?

if (!getOneIntersectingObect(Paddle.class).isEmpty())
{
    if ((deltaX < 0 && getX() < 350) || (deltaX > 0 && getX() > 350) deltaX = -deltaX;
}
This says that if the ball is touching a paddle then if the ball is moving left and on the left side of the playfield, or if the ball is moving right and on the right side of the playfield, then bounce off the paddle. Once 'deltaX' is changed the condition cannot be true again until the ball makes it to the other side of the playfield.
