Scratch

Can you post project so i may look at how you did?

Hmmm, the move back -5 steps thing..... i would put a invisible barrior around the building, that you can shoot through but they cant go past

Ya, i might also suggest making the wall a bit thicker?

Can someone answer my Gravity question?

make sure you're not going faster than the width of the wall. Otherwise you will go through the walls.

The problem isn't wall thickness (at least, not directly), since the position of the sprite is directly related to the position of the mouse.  The ball isn't really "moving" in the traditional sense, but rather "teleporting" to a point, regardless of whether walls lie between that point and its previous point.  You'll either have to check along the path the ball travels (fairly complicated) or work with some kind of velocity script (less complicated, but I wouldn't say "easy").

It's a badly painted person from sky view...  Anyways, your right...

Did you use color sensing or sprite sensing?
Try using sprite sensing as the wall...

lalala3 is quite right... because the mouse pointer is black... and you might have used color sensing.

This script should work "better".  Increasing the number of trials (increase "5" and the if-else statements) will make it "better", but at the cost of speed.  I don't want to guess whether it will fit into a single frame, but, at the very least, the script should show the basic concept.

^^ That should work.  Hooray for awkward Scratch programming to achieve speed and precision!

I don't find that awkward. To me it's quite normal. 

Yeah, it should work. 

I like simpler programs though... My personality is "try to find the easiest way to get the best achievement possible."   

It doesn't to me, though.  Any simpler scripts?  I'm making the project with my friend and he is a beginner.

This may be simpler.

Yep,that is a great idea,but what if u wanna make a wall thin?first you have to make a maximum velocity(your caracter cannot go faster than a certain speed),then make your sensor as thick as your maximum velocity(e.g. Max vel. Equals 5,u make sensor 5 pixels(if u don't know that measure,just estimate)).

No offense,of corse!
