Java How can I make a circular version of pong in Java?

[techy]

hi,

I have been trying to make a game similar to pong in java. But I do not understand the concept of bouncing of the paddle. the paddle moves around in a circle. Here is the code that I have for the vector class that takes in the position of the paddle as a vector.

public class Vector {
     double dx, dy;
 
    public Vector(int x, int y) {
        dx = 1.*x;
        dy = 1.*y;
    }
   
    public double dot(Vector V){
        return this.dx * V.dx + this.dy * V.dy;
    }
   
    public static final Vector UX = new Vector(1, 0);
    public static final Vector UY = new Vector(0, 1);
    public static final Vector ZERO = new Vector(0, 0);
   
   
    public Vector(double dr, double theta) {
        setRTheta(dr, theta);
    }
   
    private void setRTheta(double dr, double theta) {
        dx = dr*Math.cos(theta);
        dy = dr*Math.sin(theta);
    }
   
    public void setX(int x){
        dx = x;
    }
   
    public void setY(int y){
        dy = y;
    }
   
    public int getX(){
        return (int)dx;
    }
   
    public int getY(){
        return (int)dy; 
    }

    public double getR() {
        return Math.hypot(dx, dy);
    }

    public double getTheta() {
        return Math.atan2(dy, dx);
    }

    public Vector multiply(double d) {
        return new Vector(this.dx * d, this.dy * d);
    }
    public void add(Vector v) {
        dx += v.dx;
        dy += v.dy;
    }

    public Vector subtract(Vector v)
    {
        return new Vector(this.dx - v.dx, this.dy - v.dy);
    }
   
    public void reflect(double angle) {
        setRTheta(-getR(), 2*angle-getTheta());
    }
   
    public void reflectP(Vector v){
        Vector unitVector = new Vector(v.dx/Math.sqrt(v.dx * v.dx + v.dy * v.dy), v.dy/Math.sqrt(v.dx * v.dx + v.dy * v.dy));
        double dotProduct = this.dot(unitVector);
        Vector result = unitVector.multiply(2 * dotProduct).subtract(this);
        dx = result.dx;
        dy = result.dy;
//        dx = dx - 2*(v.dx/Math.sqrt(v.dx * v.dx + v.dy * v.dy) + this.dx) * //v.dx/Math.sqrt(v.dx * v.dx + v.dy * v.dy);
//        dy = dy - 2*(v.dy/Math.sqrt(v.dx * v.dx + v.dy * v.dy) + this.dy) * //v.dy/Math.sqrt(v.dx * v.dx + v.dy * v.dy);
    }
   
    public String toString(){
        return  " "  + dx + " "  + dy;  
    }
}

Can somebody please help me with this?
