i want the ball to hit the brick and the brick disappears off the screen, i have put the coding in for this in the updategame function but it doesnt seem to be working, can someone have a look at the coding and see where i am going wrong? i have highligted the coding for you to identify easier, any help would really be grateful, thank you i have also uploaded the files if you want to have a look
