I have been making a pygame game where 2 cars hit a ball around a pitch. When the player collides with the ball, the ball goes forwards, however, if the bottom of the player hits the top of the ball, the ball still goes upwards, understandingly as the code tells the ball to go upwards after contact. However, I want the ball to go downwards realistically when the ball is hit downwards. Has anyone got any ideas?
