    Default Ping Pong Game Problem with ball Drop and Catch

    I have created this ping pong game but having problem with ball and paddle collusion. After first collusion it gives score 1 but later it never touch the paddle.
    Can anyone help with the code:
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.awt.geom.*;
    import java.util.Random.*;
    import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
     
    public class Ball extends JFrame implements ActionListener, KeyListener{
    	int xSpeed=0;
    	int x,y;
    	int x1,y1;
    	int score;
    	int randomNum;
        Rectangle blockRect;
        Rectangle ballRect;
    	Timer time;
    	public Ball(String title){
    		super(title);
    		xSpeed=5;
    		x=400;
    		y=100;
    		x1= 325;
    		y1= 500;
    		time=new Timer(100,this);
    		time.start();
    		blockRect = new Rectangle(x1,y1,150,70);
    		addKeyListener(this);
    		setSize(800,600);
    		setVisible(true);
    		setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    	}
    	public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
    		y=y+xSpeed;
    		repaint();
    		if(y> this.getWidth()){
    			y=25;
    			score -=1;
    		}
    		if(blockRect.intersects(ballRect)){
    			y=40;
    			score +=1;
    			x =200;
    			y = 300;
    		}
    	}
    	public void paint(Graphics g){
    		Graphics2D g2d=(Graphics2D) g;
    		Rectangle rect=new Rectangle(0,0,800,600);
    		g2d.setColor(Color.BLACK);
    		g2d.fill(rect);
    		g2d.setColor(Color.CYAN);
    		g2d.fillOval(x,y,25,25);
    		ballRect=new Rectangle(x,y,30,30);
    		g2d.setColor(Color.RED);
    		g2d.fillRect(x1,y1,150,40);
    		g2d.drawString("Score:" +score,500,50);
    	}
        public void left() {
            x1-=5;
        }
        public void right() {
            x1 +=5;;
        }
        public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e)
        	{}
        public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e)
        	{}
        public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e)
        	{
            if (e.getKeyCode()==KeyEvent.VK_LEFT){
            	left();
            	System.out.println("Left:"+x1);
            }
            if (e.getKeyCode()==KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT){
            	  right();
            	  System.out.println("Left:"+x1);
            }
        }
    	public static void main(String args[]){
    		new Ball("Animated Ball");
    	}
    }


    --- Update ---

    I think something is wrong here:
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
    y=y+xSpeed;
    repaint();
    if(y> this.getWidth()){
    y=25;
    score -=1;
    }
    if(blockRect.intersects(ballRect)){
    y=40;
    score +=1;
    x =200;
    y = 300;
    }

    A general architecture comment:

    Don't draw directly on the JFrame by overriding its paint() method. That is not how painting in Swing is intended to be done. Instead, add a JPanel to the JFrame and draw on the JPanel using its paintComponent() method.

    As for your question, perhaps its the placement of your repaint() call, though I'm not sure I understand what you're asking.

    The comparison of y with the width seems confused. Shouldn't y be compared to the height?

    Make a small change to the code by doing what Greg suggested: Create a JPanel with the current paint() method renamed to paintComponent() and adding an instance of that new JPanel to the JFrame.

    Is getWidth() correct for comparing with y?
