I was wondering if there is anyway to have a little thing that counts how many times a ball hits a target.

you can use an "intersect" function.  there are examples in the shiffman book on processing.

this is the example http://www.learningprocessing.com/examples/chapter-10/example-10-3/

he uses dist() to calculate the distance between two objects. if the distance gets under a certain value do X.

http://processing.org/reference/dist_.htm

depending on how your object moves and how your target looks like you have to figure out how to prevent the counter from counting up only once the target it hit. and not as long as it "touches" the target.

So unless you have some kind of bounce mechanism built in you need to determine both the conditions for a 'hit' and a 'release'...
