Challenge
Create an animation of a bouncing ball which falls from the upper left part of the frame, drops straight down, makes one large bounce to the right, bounces again towards the right wall, makes four smaller bounces to the left wall, then rolls to a dead stop in the middle of the frame. After it stops, create a "surprise" ending!
