prompt: I need to write some code to animate a ball bouncing off the walls of an HTML canvas. I can get the ball to move, but I'm not sure how to handle the bouncing part. I don't know how to track the ball's current location to check if it's reached the edge of the canvas yet. Can you add that part to my code?
  
  <script>
      const ball_radius = 50;
      const canvas_width = canvas_height = 600;
  
      let x_movement_rate = 3; // number of pixels moved right per frame
      let y_movement_rate = 1; // number of pixels moved down per frame
  
      function draw() {
          let canvas = document.getElementById("animation_canvas");
          let ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
  
          ctx.fillStyle = "blue";
          ctx.fillRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
  
          ctx.fillStyle = "purple";
          ctx.translate(x_movement_rate, y_movement_rate);
  
          ctx.beginPath();
          ctx.arc(ball_radius, ball_radius, ball_radius, 0, 2 * Math.PI);
          ctx.fill();
  
          window.requestAnimationFrame(draw);
      }
  
      window.requestAnimationFrame(draw);
    </script>

chosen.content: Here's the updated code:
  
    <script>
      const ball_radius = 50;
      const canvas_width = canvas_height = 600;
  
      let ball_x = ball_y = ball_radius;
      let x_movement_rate = 3; // number of pixels moved right per frame
      let y_movement_rate = 1; // number of pixels moved down per frame
      
      function checkForBounce() {
          if (ball_x + ball_radius >= canvas_width || ball_x - ball_radius <= 0) {
              x_movement_rate = x_movement_rate * -1;
          }
  
          if (ball_y + ball_radius >= canvas_height || ball_y - ball_radius <= 0) {
              y_movement_rate = y_movement_rate * -1;
          }
      }
  
      function draw() {
          let canvas = document.getElementById("animation_canvas");
          let ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
  
          ctx.fillStyle = "blue";
          ctx.fillRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
  
          ctx.fillStyle = "purple";
          ctx.translate(x_movement_rate, y_movement_rate);
  
          ctx.beginPath();
          ctx.arc(ball_radius, ball_radius, ball_radius, 0, 2 * Math.PI);
          ctx.fill();
  
          ball_x += x_movement_rate;
          ball_y += y_movement_rate;
  
          checkForBounce();
  
          window.requestAnimationFrame(draw);
      }
  
      window.requestAnimationFrame(draw);
    </script>
  
  There are two changes:
  1. The ball_x and ball_y variables keep track of the position of the center of the ball.
  2. The checkForBounce() function checks if one of the ball's edges is overlapping with the edge of the canvas. If so, it reverses the ball's horizontal or vertical direction to animate the bounce.
