1. The ball moves too slow;
2. Nice first game;
3. The numbers going up 1 by 1 may slow down the program;
4. Why does it have a cross sprite for the ball?
5. Try making an option for user to have a larger or smaller line to receive ball;
6. The 'lives' system is very well made;
7. The game is repetitive because of the ball being slow, even on hard version;
8. Congratulations!

-the hard version is harder because the paddle moves slower than the ball

-8: thanks!

I know it is the score, but maybe they shouldn't be there, for example, they would only show up at the end so that it doesn't slow down, optimization is the key :)

Optimizing something like that is usually only necessary when TI-BASIC is being used.

Yes, but the numbers make it slow, one by one going up :S

having the text being displayed every frame severely slows down your program. i *think* that axe might even use TI OS' routines for text display on the graphscreen.

Great Job!  I don't think that the score will slow the game down since this isn't BASIC.  but I may be wrong.  also, you could make your game smoother by adding only 1 in the coordinates, but its your game.  this game is definatley better than my first game!  ;)

Definitely true. Don't clear the screen and redraw everything every frame, and especially don't redraw the text. I wouldn't be surprised if it sped up at least 3x if you remove that. Otherwise, great job for a first game :)

Also, I just realized how close your avatar is to mine :D

yeah, at first I thought he was you until I saw the post count.  btw, why does yours have a checkered-ish pattern?
