CMU? lol

that's one heck of a project to give a student who just recently was introduced to pointers.

Quick question: is this an assignment your teacher chose, or is it something you picked, in anticipation of it not being quite so hard?

It's predominantly BS. If you're going to make the thing with a movie maker, all you need is a couple of images: one for the ball and one for obstacles. If you're going to direct the activity programmatically, as in Pong, there's no need for a movie maker. This is a classic case of a problem with ill-defined requirements. I have no idea where that fault lies, but it's as deadly in learning as it is in the real world.
