I made this game as the final project at the Summer Programming course at my school. It was made in the online Python IDE, CodeSkulptor, that has the simplegui library conveniently installed.
Methodology
The underlying power of simplegui is its simplicity and strength. It draws out the instructed graphics in a stunning 60 cycles every second. This allows the programmer to draw out the the updated images to create a gaming effect.
Problems encountered
The most crucial problem I faced during the developement was that the ball did not correctly reflect off of the edges of the board. I overcame this by using a more definitive control flow in the program.

Note: You might have to click on the canvas(the black game background) in order to bring the game screen into focus so that the key controls would work.
