The function below should not be a method on a particular ball object
as it is the global event loop for pygame. This needs to be a top
level function that updates the animation for all balls.

In this loop you need to add code that will call the control() method
of each ball and then redraw the screen. At the moment you only draw
the objects once at the top of the settings() method. Then the loop
runs until you quit. So it should be something like:

# The functions below would make sense as methods of an "App" class.

def run():
    while 1:
        for event in pygame.event.get():
            if event.type = pygame.QUIT:
                sys.exit()
        update()
        draw()

def update():
    for ball in balls:
        ball.control()

def draw():
    screen.fill(black)
    for ball in balls:
        ball.draw()  # You need to add this method to BALL
    pygame.display.flip()

balls = [BALL("spongebob.png"), BALL("jaws.jpg")]

run()  # Actually runs the program's event loop.
