Answer the questions while completing the tutorial. Pay attention to the dialogues!

1. Create two variables that will keep track of the x-position and y-position of the ball, and assign the variables to their initial values.

ballX = 2
ballY = 1

2. Create two variables that keeps track of the velocity (or the speed and direction) of the ball, and assign the variables to their initial values.

ballXVelocity = 1
ballYVelocity = 1

3. Write the code that plots the initial position of the paddle and the ball.

led.plot(0, paddleY)
led.plot(ballX, ballY)

4. Write the code that moves the paddle up when Button A is pressed. (Don't worry about setting 'game running' to true.)

input.onButtonPressed("A", () => {
    if (paddleNotUp()) {
        led.unplot(0, paddleY)
        paddleY = paddleY - 1
        led.plot(0, paddleY)
    }
})

5. Write the code that moves the paddle up when Button B is pressed. (Don't worry about setting 'game running' to true.)

input.onButtonPressed("A", () => {
    if (paddleNotDown()) {
        led.unplot(0, paddleY)
        paddleY = paddleY + 1
        led.plot(0, paddleY)
    }
})

6. Write the code to update the y-velocity. (Hint: look at the function "update y velocity".)

if (ballY == 4 || ballY == 0) {
    ballYVelocity = (-1) * ballYVelocity
}

7. Write the code to move the ball. (Hint: look at the function "move ball".)

led.unplot(ballX, ballY)
ballX = ballX + ballXVelocity
ballY = ballY + ballYVelocity
