 then create a struct with the desired powerup and position:
+<code>
 void main()
 {
@@ Line 68: / Line 68: @@
  ptrPowerup->type = DUPLICATE;                   //set the type variable within the powerup struct to DUPLICATE, which represent the underlying value of 1
 }
+</code>
 now everytime that you call ptrPowerup->type it will return DUPLICATE, which under the hood, represents 1.
+Some Power-Ups you could make could range from trivial to more difficult. One could be a Power-Up that increases the size of your paddle.
+You can accomplish this by checking if the Power-Up is active, then selecting a different region before drawing the paddle and the given coordinates.
+You will of course need to change the boundaries in which the ball collides with the bigger paddle as well.
+If you are using an array to track your Power-Ups, it would look something like:
+<code>
+if ( PowerUpCollected[1] == true )
+{
+    select_region( RegionLargePaddle );
+} else {
+    select_region( RegionPaddle );
+}
+draw_region_at( PaddleX, PaddleY );
+</code>
