Move And Bounce

[absorr]

I want to replicate this game I made in Scratch onto my site. http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/absorr/1489987Would javascript work? Is there a better option that won't cost me money? If javascript would work, how do i make it so that the object can move and bounce off walls?

JavaScript and the HTML canvas would work for that. Google has lots of tutorials on working with the canvas.

If you were able to make an object bounce in another language, Javascript shouldn't be any different, the concept is the same. Javascript is capable of making games, but if you want efficiency, you should try another language. Java and Flash are more efficient than Javascript. A lot of Java IDEs are free, I use NetBeans. You have to pay for a Flash editor.

how do i make it so that the object can move and bounce off walls?

something like this should work:

canvasWidth = 500canvasHeight = 500 function target() {	this.x = 0	this.y = 0		this.moveX = 1	this.moveY = 1		this.checkEdgeHit = function() {		if (this.x <= 1) // left			this.moveX = 1		else if (this.x >= canvasWidth) // right			this.moveX = -1				if (this.y <= 1) // top			this.moveY = 1		else if (this.y >= canvasHeight) // bottom			this.moveY = -1	}		this.move = function() {		this.checkEdgeHit()				this.x += this.moveX		this.y += this.moveY				this.render()	}		this.render = function() {		//context.arc( ... )	}}
