;toogle auto middle handle

Global img_ball=LoadImage("C:\Program Files\blitzbasic\sprites/ball.bmp")
;pong type
Type pong
Field x,y
End Type
;set starting coords
Global x=0
Global y=0
;number of pongs on the screen
Global nump=1
;set starting points
Global points=0
;set the radius(not gonna use this yet)

;set ball speed(not gonna use this yet)

;declare pong type as "GLOBAL"
Global p.pong
;set drawing buffer to the backbuffer
SetBuffer BackBuffer()
;main loop
While Not KeyDown(1)
Cls
;create a pong
createpong(nump)
For p.pong=Each pong
;draw pong image to the screen with its coords
DrawImage img_pong,p\x,p\y
;update pongs coords
If KeyDown(205) Then p\x=p\x+5
If KeyDown(203) Then p\x=p\x-5
Next
WaitTimer(timer)
Flip
Wend
End
;create pong function
Function createpong(nump)
