Some questions i have:

1. How can improve the update method? Because now it is updating way to fast even with a SDL_Delay(10); the rendering is flickering a bit.
2. I didn't fully understand the renderer code. It was somewhat of try and error where i ended up placing SDL_RenderPresent(renderer); after each thing i wanted to render. (feels stupid and unnecessary, maybe i'm the one who is stupid)
3. What is the idea behind implementing sound? (i didn't feel like googling this one)
4. How can i improve upon my code?
5. What is a good way to make the AI to lose? AT this moment is quit impossible for him to lose... I've made him move only when the ball gets into his side of the map, and even slowed him down quite a bit (relative to the player speed) but he looks almost like he teleports to the ball location,

Tomorrow i'll start with my worm game, this time without (hopefully) any video tutorial.

Some questions i have:

Measure time instead of moving every frame. "Speed" in defined as distance divided by time, e.g. miles per hour, meters per second, etc.

Your game logic is adding/removing 10 to the position without accounting for time. You shoudl just _measure_ time, and then use that to calculate how far you should move every time your GameLogic function runs.

See http://gameprogrammingtutorials.blogspot.com/2010/01/sdl-tutorial-series-part-5-dealing-with.html (first hit on Google I found for "SDL measure time" - it seems to show how to use SDL_GetTicks to measure elapsed time).

By measuring time, it doesn't matter if your game runs fast or slow; the speed will be consistent. If the player is supposed to move 1000 pixels every second, multiply that speed by the time since the last movement. 1000 pixels / 1 second * X elapsed seconds = 1000 * X pixels. X will is time in seconds, which for a game will be well under 1, so you'll move only some fraction of 1000 pixels that frame. As the frame speed varies, so will the distance moved, giving you the illusion of smooth continuous motion.

I didn't fully understand the renderer code. It was somewhat of try and error where i ended up placing SDL_RenderPresent(renderer); after each thing i wanted to render. (feels stupid and unnecessary, maybe i'm the one who is stupid)

As per my first answer, just do that once. Present copies what you've drawn onto the actual screen (normally it's in off-screen temporary buffer somewhere). You only want to copy complete images up, as otherwise the user's eye will be able to see very brief glimpses of the incomplete scene. That reuslts in the flickering, because you first show the user a scene with one paddle, then with both paddles, etc., instead of only showing the user a screen with everything.

What is the idea behind implementing sound? (i didn't feel like googling this one)

1. Make a sound file.

2. Ask SDL to load the sound file into a sound object.

3. Tell SDL to play the sound object when you want the sound to start playing.

Repeat steps 1-2 for each unique sound in your game (ball hits paddle, ball hits wall, player wins, player loses, etc.). Repeat step 3 every time you want a sound to play.

You're going to have to feel like Googling it if you want more information. SDL's sound capabilities are very low-level and not the best if you're just looking for fast and easy. You might need to use an add-on library like SDL_mixer to do more complex sound.

What is a good way to make the AI to lose? AT this moment is quit impossible for him to lose... I've made him move only when the ball gets into his side of the map, and even slowed him down quite a bit (relative to the player speed) but he looks almost like he teleports to the ball location,

As above, use speed. The player moves at a certain speed. The AI can have a differnet speed. Easier AI can move slower, meaning that if the player bounces the ball far away from where the AI currently has its paddle, it simply may not be able to move the paddle fast enough to stop the ball.

The speed use here is the same as above. If the player can move 1000 pixels per second, perhaps the AI can only move 700 pixels per second. Multiply by the time and that is as far as the AI is allowed to move in a single GameLogic update.

How can improve the update method? Because now it is updating way to fast even with a SDL_Delay(10)

In addition to Sean's post above -- fix your timestep

1. Make a sound file.

2. Ask SDL to load the sound file into a sound object.

3. Tell SDL to play the sound object when you want the sound to start playing.

Repeat steps 1-2 for each unique sound in your game (ball hits paddle, ball hits wall, player wins, player loses, etc.). Repeat step 3 every time you want a sound to play.

You're going to have to feel like Googling it if you want more information. SDL's sound capabilities are very low-level and not the best if you're just looking for fast and easy. You might need to use an add-on library like SDL_mixer to do more complex sound.

its not that i didn't feel like googling... it was more of a tired thing... i was a bit tired yesterday and i wanted like a explanation first before i started messing with sound :D

About the other responses i really appreciate them...

That's exactly what i wanted to hear. i'll read and study your notes tomorrow and i'll come back if i have any doubts about anything.

Just wanted to say that the collision typo has occurred because i'm not an English native speaker .
