I’m making a football game for the game jam, and I want the football to, like, bounce off the other sprite that’s touching it. Does anyone know how to do this? > **[Bird Run: Football Renegade](https://arcade.makecode.com/S77460-36466-69937-65229)** > > uhh a game i guess Please answer! Thx ---

depends whether there’s a block to tell what face of the sprite is being hit ---

How i’d go about it is using jwunderl/arcade-sprite-util to set the balls velocity at the angle from the player who touched it. However, your projects has extensions incompatible with sprite utils, so i don’t know. Maybe see if the incompatible extensions are actually used, or try a different approach. ---

This might not be much help, but you can look at the physics of the ball in this wallball game I made for my friends > **[Wallball v. 1.3.2 SCORE HOARD](https://arcade.makecode.com/S98938-89018-20386-03750)** > > Press a to jump > B to hit hard > Ball will slow down > Menu for shop > C for character inv > B for ball inv > V for event menu > Yeah I kinda quit since I dont know what to add and its too laggy I think you just multiply to velocity by -1 to switch it from negative to positive and the other way around. ---

uhhhhhhh its rather long but heres the most important part: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/2/9/29f406374b8ce56e8a14aa1bfaa3094692f4d924.png) the pick random is just to make the ball faster on contact, so the real magic is just the (ball) vx \* -1 ---

you could try to find the definition of the block in the github repository, and copy/paste it into your project
