Hi, I am currently trying to work on code for a simple Breakout game. The ball is not moving when I start it up (I am not worrying about making it collide with anything yet - just making sure that it can even move in the first place). Thanks so much!
P.S. Let me know if this was the wrong topic to post this under or something. I’m a beginner at all this
