Time for action – determining if the ball is below the paddle
In the starter project, the game is over when the ball touches the color red, which matches the color of the strip at the bottom of the stage. Red is going to be one of our brick colors, so we'll want to adjust our game over condition to be a neutral color.
Basically, we need to determine if the ball falls below the paddle, but in doing so, we're going to encounter some problems that we'll need to solve. Let's follow the given steps:

From the Motion palette, find the y position block, and add it to the left-hand side of the less than (<) block.
From the Sensing palette, add the block that reads (x position) of paddle to the right-hand side of the less than (<) block. Change x position to y...
