Attributes:
brick - The GRect that will be used as the target of the ball
paddle - A GRect controllable by the user to hit the ball into bricks
ball - A GOval that will be used to break bricks
vx & vy - Set velocities for the ball

Within Constructor:
- create the paddle, ball, and bricks

Methods:
set_ball_position() - sets the ball's starting position
set_ball_velocity() - sets the ball's velocity (instigate with onmouseclicked)
reset_ball() - reset's the ball to the starting position when player loses a life
remove_ball() - removes ball from window when players loses all lives
move_ball() - moves the ball in the main function
handle_wall_collisions() - allows the ball to follow physics when hitting a left, right, or top wall
handle_brick_collision() - allows the ball to follow physics and break a brick when the two collide
handle_paddle_collision() - allows the ball to follow physics and bounce off the paddle
check_for_collision() - creates a boolean to check if the ball has collided with a brick, paddle, or nothing
handle_click() - handles the click that causes the game to start
handle_move() - handles the movement of the paddle at the center of the user's cursor (onmousemoved)

Possible Extensions:
- Add method get_ball_score() using an attribute score to display a score under the paddle and raise it by a certain
amount whenever a certain brick is broken
- Add in the kicker when the count reaches a certain number (-7 from orig?) by changing the velocity by * 2
- Add more user control by making inverting the velocity of the x value in addition to the y value based on
which half of the paddle the ball was hit
- Create a main menu with game modes ('Classic', 'Speed-Run', 'Directional', 'Full-Board?')?
- Create blocks with special properties (silver ones take longer to break,
