- Brick Breaker description
- Ball bounces around the screen and off of bricks and the paddle
- Paddle that moves along the x-axis by following the mouse (lookup mouseX and mouseY)
- Row of Bricks at the top of the screen
- Bricks disappear if they are hit by the ball
- Lose if ball goes past the bottom of the screen
- Win if all bricks are gone
