Hello all is there a way where i can move a ball to the left or to the right that is in bouncing motion without looking choppy. I guess what i want is to be able to move the left or accurately so that can move it from pillar to pillar? i hope that i didnt confuse you.

    a bit confusing. but what behavior are you using? i would recommend to try to change the velocity.

    Yes, this is pretty simple to tackle once you understand the basics. In order for this to all make sense, the best place to start is here:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceleration (just stick to the top paragraph, don't worry about the formulas)

    You'll want to know about the basics of movement:

    - Acceleration
    - Velocity and how it's different from speed
    - Magnitude (Speed)

    Once the above is solid for you, in GameSalad, understand the difference between:

    Static attributes like: Position X and Y, Rotation

    and

    Motion attributes like: Linear Velocity X and Y, Rotational Velocity


    This may look like overkill, but understanding this stuff will make life easier.
