CP-1610 assembly, 6764 62 DECLEs = 78 bytes

This code is intended to be run on an Intellivision. It's using one of its hardware sprites, known as a MOB (for Mobile Object).

A CP-1610 opcode is encoded with a 10-bit value, known as a 'DECLE'. This program is 62 DECLEs long, starting at $4800 and ending at $483D.

HTML (Microsoft Edge/Internet Explorer), 81 bytes

Pretend it's 1998 with these nested <marquee> tags:

<marquee behavior=alternate direction=down><marquee behavior=alternate width=99>O

Tested in Microsoft Edge, though from what I've read IE should also still support marquees. Decidedly does not work in Chrome.

Setting direction=up would save 2 bytes, but break the rule that the ball has to start at the top of the canvas.
