Hey all, small question about the physics you would use to re-create the "bouncing ball" movement, from MMF. Usually I would just used the bouncing ball movement because on adverage, its never really been buggy or proven to be annoying like the other movements, but I think learning how to make a custom one might be pretty useful in my case. Anyone know?

As far as I know, in Pong the ball's Y movement simply reversed if it collided with a horizontal surface, and the X movement reversed after hitting a vertical surface. You could also change the angle at which the ball is travelling if it hits near the side of a paddle.
To move, you could use the ball's A and B values, and move it by those number of pixels each time. You may also need detectors to determine the angle of the surface that a ball has hit.

I made a fastloop breakout engine a while ago using the technique Wong described, but without any detectors. It works decent enough, and has the ability to change the ball's angle based on where it hits the paddle like in DXBall.
