Ball glitches through player

[FinnKr]

If the ball gets to a certain speed it will simply go through the player so it is impossible to hit it anymore.

This happens because there is no actual frame where the ball collides with the player's paddle.

Here's an idea on how to fix this:

When the ball is beyond the player's paddle, instead of assuming that the player missed the ball, first check if the ball went through the paddle. To do so, get the current and last position of the ball, construct a line between those two points, and check if that line collides with the player's paddle. If it does, that means that the player didn't miss the ball after all.

Do you agree with this logic? Should I proceed to implement it?

Thats the same reason I thought of. Your solution sounds good you can try to implement it.
