i have this circle ("ball") that moves throughout the screen bouncing against the walls, but i can't managed to make it bounce correctlly ("naturally") off the walls (hence i don't use restitution since i don't want a speed change). i tried change velocity to (same velocity) and direction 180-vectortoangle(linear.velocity.x,linear.velocity.y) but that only worked for horizontal walls, and the same thing but with 180 + vectortoangle("", "") it worked only for vertical. Is there a way to mange it to work for both?

    Do you have the collision shape set to "circular" on the ball?

    Look for this template in the Creator: Infinite bouncing balls with constant speed

    Best bouncing template I have seen.
