I'm making a Breakout games. Inspired by DarkNoobs . I had the collision working previously, but then deleted the program thinking I would take the project no further. Then I decided to get back into it again and tried the collision again. It works sometimes, but then other times, it will go straight through the brick. Any help is appreciated.

Use the arrows keys to change the speed and direction of the ball.

Download the file and here is the code with a screenshot just incase anyone can't download.

EDIT:

Figured it out nevermind.

Oh. Didn't know anyone cared .

I split the collision into two things. One for checking collision on the top or bottom sides of the ball and another for checking collision on the left and right sides of the ball. I would then determine which direction the ball was going (up or down/left or right) and whatever direction it was going I would check that side of the ball for collision. So if the ball were moving up and to the right. I would check the top and right sides of the ball for collision.
