Allright… That doesn’t explain it very well… Do you want realistic circle physics as in ball bounces off a surface and it bounces to the left because of the angle)… Or do you want it to just bounce? Then you have to specify what for… And typically I like to ask if you’ve tried to do it yourself yet?
