Want to make a ball google a software called "inkscape" , you may also need to install 'xquartz' to run it. Both software's are free.

Ball bouncing continusly. In the physics portion of your wall actor, uncheck movable.

Then with your ball create a rule, "when ball collides with wall>change velocity (random1,360)

and you're good to go, I even went out of my way to create a project for you doing just that.

@Evanclark1039, you need to start with the Cookbook (http://cookbook.gamesalad.com), or http://GSHelper.com tutorials, or something like my tutorials: http://tinyurl.com/GameSaladTutorials.

Once you learn the basics (like how to use a When Touch is Pressed rule and a Change Scene behavior), you'll know how to do all of this and you can ask more difficult questions that people here will be happy to help you with.

That actually what ive been doing while i was waiting for someone to answer i only have one more question ok i want to make a timer in my game that stops when its game over and then posts the time to the games scoreboard (offline scoreboard)

You can Google:
GameSalad timer
GameSalad countdown timer
GameSalad GameCenter

GameSalad gives you the ability to save attributes or tables to the device. Beyond that, you would be integrating with GameCenter, which requires a Pro membership.
