```auto
switch();
    if (newball.hitTestObject(wall_1)) 
    
    {
    spd = -spd/1.2;
    }
    
    break;
    
    if (newball.hitTestObject(wall_2)) 
    {
    spd = -spd/1.2;
    }
    
    break;
    if (newball.hitTestObject(wall_3)) 
    {
    spd = -spd/1.2;
    }
    
    break;
    if (newball.hitTestObject(wall_4)) 
    {
    spd = -spd/1.2;
    }
    break;

```
