Decided not to wait till the weekend, so here is something small I made today.
Drag the left-mouse button in the opposite direction that you want to hit the ball in to build up power. Then release to take your shot. The right-mouse button allows you to cancel after you've started dragging.
20/5/2012 Update: Originally, the game couldn't detect collisions with fast balls - one frame it would be in front of the collider, and the next, past it. So, I've made it calculate the physics more frequently by lowering the timestep, and changed how the walls detect collisions. The maximum power has been raised back. Hopefully it will be better - please let me know if it's not.
