Have you seen an animation or played a game where it looked like the sprites were affected by gravity? Perhaps, they fell to the bottom of the stage in a realistic way, slowly gaining speed as they fell. Perhaps, they bounced and those bounces got smaller and smaller over time. Have you wanted to create gravity in one of your projects? Let’s explore how you can!
