Always when being confronted with a new task you need to ask yourself, what is the context, what is the exact meaning of the task, what are the single steps to reach the goal. Break the problem down into single steps.

Set up a scoring system

you need a variable int score = 0;

when the ball hits a brick say score++;

display the score in the corner with text()

When the ball is out of the screen, end the game

you need a state system to be able to display a game over screen when the ball is out of the screen. So let's say your state is a variable of type int. And it can be 0 for GAME or 1 for GAMEOVER.

So when the ball leaves the screen say state = 1;

in draw()

have

void draw() {

    switch(state) {

        case 0: 
        // what you have in draw now
        break;

        case 1: 
        background(0);
        text(game over, 200,220);
        break;

      } // switch

} // draw

(alternatively

• when the ball leaves the screen say lives--; (and reset ball have a short screen displayed)
• when (lives == 0) set game over;
• initially lives=3;

)

The slider must get smaller, in relation to time ( permanent deformation):

widthSlider = widthSlider - 0.0001; 
if (widthSlider<5) 
   widthSlider = 5;
