So this is what the pit of dispair feels like 
I'm at a point in development where I really want to be building and refining content, but to expand on the content I have there, requires getting moving blocks colliding with the ball well, and this is where I've been stuck for the last 21 days.
I've posted asking for help here, but without much success:
I've probably attempted to rewrite the collision detection 10+ times at this point, with no luck. I suspect there are parts of my code that hold up really nicely under the conditions they were created, but in trying to extend them a little, are falling to bits.
So if anyone thinks they might be able to help out, please do hit me up on discord or via a DM or something (does this place support DMs?)
Hopefully my next update will be more positive, and not as far between
