How do i get the ball to bounce off the movable walls and the game to restart after gameover!?

abigail18

so the code does not perform two things I need him to do. First I need the ball to bounce off the little paddles and second I need the game to restart once I reach gameover and press a key. can someone help me with this?! please. an explanation with whatever answer you give would be nice.

thx abigail

for reset

ballX = width/2;
ballY = height/2;
//
// variables for the paddles

 paddle1 = 60; 
//
// direction variables
directionX = 15;
directionY = 15;

reflect

    // normal movement     
    bally+=ballSpeedY;
    // reflection upper screen border?
