Surprisingly such a simple system as a mass on a spring can exhibit very curious behaviour.  There are two motions interacting here, the side to side swing of a pendulum, and the up and down bounce of a spring.  If the bouncing is set to be twice as fast as the swinging then the system will swap between the two motions, regularly transferring up-down energy into swinging and vice versa.
