java Pong game

[warhammerdude20]

i have a problem with the pong game im making with java...

i have everything done in the game exept i cant make the ball bounce off the paddle. does anyone know how to do this?
also, i would like to know how to generate a random number in java

thanks

ive figured out how to make a random number...

double rn=Math.floor(Math.random()*5);

same as javascript!!! i still need help with the collision thing but now i have yet another question... i have a function called shootBall:

public void shootBall(){
double rn1=Math.floor(Math.random()*2);
double rn2=Math.floor(Math.random()*2);
x_pos=150;
y_pos=150;
if(rn1==0.0)x_speed=1;
if(rn1==1.0)x_speed=-1;
if(rn2==0.0)y_speed=1;
if(rn2==1.0)y_speed=-1;
}

x_speed is the balls x speed and y_speed is the balls y speed.

it works for the most part but the ball will only will shoot right... how do i fix this?

again thanks...

Here is how I do random numbers.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/...il/Random.html

import java.util.Random;
Random gen = new Random();
double random double = gen.nextDouble() * 50; //Random double of 1-50
