FAQ / Tips

  • Progression Advice

    • Draw a single stationary ball

    • Make the ball move

    • Make the ball bounce off the edge

    • Repeat with a second ball


  • Wait, but how do I make the ball bounce?


  • Is there a way to do this program without repeating so much code?

    • Yes - but it's beyond your powers right now. We'll come back to this!


  • I know it's not required, but ... how do I make the balls hit each other?
