Problem designing bouncy ball program

-----------------------------------

For the past while I have been trying to come up with a program containing a ball bouncing across a screen, with gravity taken into consideration. This is as far as I've gotten:

setscreen ("graphics:vga")

const midx := maxx div 2
const midy := maxy div 2
const a := 1
var yy : real
var x, y, t : int := 0

for i : 1 .. 28
   t := i
   x += 10
   y := maxy - ( (a * t * t) div 2)
   drawfilloval (x, y, 14, 14, red)
   delay (30)
 cls
end for
   const b := 1
   for i : 27 .. 40
   t := 28
   x += 10
   y := maxy - ( (b * t* t) div 2)
   drawfilloval (x, y, 14, 14, red)
   delay (30)
  cls
end for


I was wondering is there was an easier way, or how to continue this, and if anyone knows, how? Thanks

well this is just animation, so you'd have to continue drawing each frame manually... unless you actually design a single function using velocity (as in speed with direction).

I made a tutorial about pool game http://danco.no-ip.com/turing/viewtopic.php?t=129, it has to do with balls hitting each other and stuff... See if that helps. Atleast that describes how to use velocity.
