Creating a Bouncing Ball program in C on a FPGA board

Hi
I have having trouble on how would you make the ball move

i know you would need to have something like this to move the ball, but how does this work.

x = x + dx and y = y + dy

Hope someone can help me
P.S

You'll need an algorithm to calculate the ball's trajectory to simulate the physics of a real ball. Look up in your physics text, the laws of motion for ballistic objects. The dx/dy values are then modified based on the ballistic equations.
