Hello everyone, One of my students is working on a two player ping pong game. The player who reaches 100 points wins, but my student wants the ball to move faster every 10 or 20 points any ideas? > **[Check out what I made](https://studio.code.org/projects/gamelab/96-WxZcIeeaZjrrGNbFWBhZIbuOlwZra0DCGi7IIArM)** > > I wrote the code myself with Code.org ---

Hi @dajanim, A fun game! Changing velocity would make it even more challenging. It seems simple enough but the change in velocity depending on the direction it is going adds a little to the difficulty. My suggestion is pretty simple. I created variables for x and y speed and then variables that kept track of whether it was going up or down. Then created if statements for change in score. I have a [sample here.](https://studio.code.org/projects/gamelab/tHY-H19ZPGimR0zXpavA8iD-MzkEcUFQVBXt2mmeQc0) It changes speed every 5 points for PlayerOne. It does not also adjust velocity for X so that would need to be added. I’m sure others will have suggestions as well. Good luck! ~Michelle
