public CS15Ball(boolean startMovingLeft)

Creates a new ball for pong.

Parameters:

startMovingLeft - if true, the ball will first move left - if false, the ball will first move right

Method Detail

updatePosition

public void updatePosition()

Moves the ball incrementally, maintaining its own velocity. Because this method only moves the ball a small amount, this method should be called very often (every second) in order to "animate" the ball's motion.
