What is the best way to make something move until it hits the edges of the screen and then change direction until it hits another edge? I have a clip right now that moves randomly, but it will just arbitrarily move randomly instead of bouncing off the screen edges. I’ve seen tons of examples of what I have now, but I haven’t seen many with what I want. Thanks for any help you can give me.
