    Default Paddle Ball Game

    I'm having problems with my code for my CS1302 class.
    80 pts - Add the ability to keep track of points (number of times the ball bounces off the paddle, times the number of balls on the screen) and lives (start with 5 or more, subtract when a ball hits the bottom of the screen).

    90 pts - Add a "game over" popup when the lives are gone (and stop the animation/timer), ask the user if they want to play again, and reset the score/lives/balls if so.

    100 pts - Add 3 sliders to the Applet Panel (using the Window Editor): one for paddle size, one for ball size, and one for speed.

    I'm stuck at the 80 points(keeping track of points per ball on the screen).

    So far, here are my 2 codes.
    import javax.swing.JApplet;
    public class PongApplet extends JApplet {
     
    	public PongApplet() {
    		this.getContentPane().add(new DotsReboundPanel());
    	}
     
     
    }

    (keeping track of points per ball on the screen).
    What variable is used to keep track of the number of balls?
    When and where is that variable's value changed?
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    i figured that part out. All i had to do was scores
    score+= pointList.size();
    . Now i'm just having problems with the 90 points(Game Over Popup).
