I am using The program from Khan Academy
here is a link to it

Step 1: Step 1

To make the background color simply type background(0,0,0)
to change the color click on one of the zeros and you can click on what color you want

Step 2: Step 2

To create the ball you need to type ellipse(0,0,0,0)
the first two zeros control where its placed on the page aka the x and y axis
the second two zeros control how big the ball is
to control what color the ball is put your cursor infrount of ellipse and hit enter then go to the space above your ellipse and write fill(0,0,0)
it is the same way to change the color as the background

it should look like this
fill(0,0,0);
ellipse(0,0,0,0);

Tip: make sure you always have a semicolon ( ; ) after every command you type

Step 3: Step 3

you need to make a variable for the first zero of your ellipse
type var x = 17

Step 4: Step 4

How to make the movement of the ball
type var draw=
2 brackets will come up copy and paste everything in them except the var x = 17
then at the bottom of the brackets (still inside the brackets) put
x = x+1
now your done you can see my creation on this link
