Not if you're programming in bB, at least not without writing a custom kernel. If you're writing your own custom kernel (in assembly language), then you can create shapes with the ball by changing its size from line to line, and/or by shifting it to the left or right from line to line. The ball is only 1 pixel wide, but the pixel can be one of four different sizes: 1 color clock, 2 color clocks, 4 color clocks, or 8 color clocks. So if you want to draw a round ball, you could draw it 2 color clocks wide on the first line, then draw it 4 color clocks wide on the next line and shift it 1 color clock to the left, then draw it like that for another line or two (but without shifting it left again), then finally draw it 2 color clocks wide again and shift it back 1 color clock to the right, as follows:

But as I said, you can't do that in bB-- you'll need to write a custom kernel in assembly language.

Ok... so i might use a player instead of the ball,... i think kernel hacks will be for future projects. First i want be fit in basic´s of bB.
