A Bar object is pretty much like a Counter object in that it has a numeric value and displays it on the screen. The difference between the two is how the value is displayed. The basic content of this kind of class is: - a field to hold the value - a method to create the bar image (call it 'updateImage') called from the constructor and any method that changes the bar value - a method to return the value (call it 'getValue') - one or more methods to adjust the bar value (ex. 'add', 'subtract', 'setValue', 'increment', 'decrement') An example of a draft of a simple 'updateImage' method can be found at the following location: http://www.greenfoot.org/topics/find/16886#post_16886

I realize you said "Sorry about bad language of game, I'll change it. " However, if you know it is inappropriate, you should not have put it up to begin with. I am asking that you remove this as soon as possible until you have corrected it.

@Spilli, I feel that if I allowed mouse control, the game would be too easy. I migh consider slowing the game down just a touch more; but I do not want it to become boringly slow.

@Poli, I put a little more distance between the bumpers and the paddle to allow for a little more reaction time; plus, I increased the speed of paddle movement.

@Poli, I know how challenging it is at the moment. I was thinking about maybe moving the bumbers up a little and maybe widening the paddle at bit.
