TASK 1

A hole in my racket

Rory picked the working paddle, it looks like yours has a hole in it!

Currently, your paddle doesn't work, it never hits the ball back.

You need to complete the definition of:

def has_hit_paddle(bx: int, by: int, px: int, py: int) -> bool:

This takes

bx - the x co-ordinate of the ball
by - the y co-ordinate of the ball
px - the x co-ordinate of the paddle
py - the y co-ordinate of the paddle

The ball is 20 by 20 and is a square.

The paddle is 6 by 50 and is a rectangle.

Your function must return True in any situation where the ball and paddle are touching, and False otherwise.

A message will appear when you have the correct conditions.

Good Luck!

Well done!

You have completed all of the tasks.

Return home or take a look at the tutorials

Something isn't quite right...
