I am new to this programming stuff (except HTML lol)
I was following the tutorial spin regards to the circle on the screen and moving it around. I got the fairly easily.
I started on the even more advanced section which starts to add velocitys but the code won’t run. If anyone would mind having a loom through and see where I have made an error it would be greatly appreciated.

Apologies if the code is written quite scruffily, I’m new as I said
@Cjohnstone87 - that’s ok, being new is something we’ve all been through. You are welcome to post your problems and questions.
When you include code, it will format nicely if you put three ~ on the line before the code, and three more at the end. I edited your post to show you.
I can see a problem right at the start, with this line
x, y = wid / 2, HEIGHT / 2
because “wid” is not defined. You probably meant to use WIDTH.
Ok, the program runs now but the boundaries are not working properly.

Ok, I’ve come up with this mad it works for top,bottom and left.
Right is still broken as it’s missing and I can’t figure it
background(0)
local c
if inTouch then
x, y = tx, ty
c = tc
else
x, y = x + dx, y + dy
c = bc
end
if x < r then
dx = - dx
x = 2 * r - x
end
if x > r then
dy = - dy
y = 2 * r - y
end
I tried this for the missing right hand side but didn’t work
if y < HEIGHT - r then
dx = - dx
y = 2 * (HEIGHT - r) - y
end
But the ball won’t even appear with that string in
