Collision Detection 2D Game - javascript

I am following a Mozilla 2D game tutorial. This is not my original code nor my original idea. Link below.
Mozilla Game
I have gotten stuck on a particular aspect of the game: collision detection of the ball with the bricks. Everything worked fine with the program until I called the collisionDetection() function.
Here is the function:
function collisionDetection() {
for(c=0; c<brickColumnCount; c++) {
for(r=0; r<brickRowCount; r++) {
var b = bricks[c][r];
if(x > b.x && x < b.x+brickWidth && y > b.y && y < b.y+brickHeight) {
dy = -dy;
}
}
}
}
Below calling this function, the ball flew around the canvas and the game mechanics worked perfectly. However, upon adding this call to my code, the ball stayed motionless at its starting point with no movement at all.
Obviously there is a problem with the collisionDetection() function but it all looks correct to me!
I also searched for a problem with the ball-to-wall and ball-to-paddle collision detection 'if statements' but everything seemed correct.
The entire code is below.

Can someone please help me by pointing out an error in my code or or how the collisionDetection() function isn't working with another piece of code for the game mechanics? i.e. the ball movement or paddle movement.
I have also attached a photo of the game in its current, nonfunctional, state.
Thank you

In your code variables x and y does not defined. I suppose you mean xCircle and yCircle. Your collisionDetection function must looks like this:
function collisionDetection() {
for (c=0; c<brickColumnCount; c++) {
for (r=0; r<brickRowCount; r++) {
var b = bricks[c][r];
if (xCircle > b.x && xCircle < b.x+brickWidth && yCircle > b.y && yCircle < b.y+brickHeight) {
dy = -dy;
}
}
}

Colors change too fast

So I was making a breakout game for class and finished it, so for fun, my teacher asked before I went off for Christmas break that I make the bricks change color, and yea I did that but it's WAY too fast. He says it's fine how it is- if it was slower, or if the colors changed every time a brick was hit. Can I get some help?

You're changing the color on every block draw. The Math.random() is getting called on every draw to the canvas thus that means it's changing every block's color on each draw.
Possible solutions:
Save the colors in an array + a the time you want to change them
Save the colors in an array and change them randomly
Don't re-draw the blocks on every re-draw (better for performance)
Here's one possible solution that stores the colors in an array and changes them randomly:
let blkColors = []
function drawBricks() {
for(let c=0; c<brickColumnCount; c++) {
for(let r=0; r<brickRowCount; r++) {
if(bricks[c][r].status == 1) {
const brickX = (r*(brickWidth+brickPadding))+brickOffsetLeft;
const brickY = (c*(brickHeight+brickPadding))+brickOffsetTop;
bricks[c][r].x = brickX;
bricks[c][r].y = brickY;
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.rect(brickX, brickY, brickWidth, brickHeight);
if (!blkColors[c] || !blkColors[c][r] || Math.random() > 0.97) { // new color
if (!blkColors[c])
blkColors[c] = [];
ctx.fillStyle = blkColors[c][r] = "#" + ((1 << 24) * Math.random() | 0).toString(16).padStart(6, "0");
} else {
ctx.fillStyle = blkColors[c][r];
}
ctx.fill();
ctx.closePath();
}
}
}
}

Pause/Play button for my breakout-clone on Javascript

Canvas.getContext : changing the colour of an object once an event happens

I'm trying to get my head around using javascript in the html < canvas >, and I started with the MDN Breakout game tutorial. Here is how the complete game looks like. I'm stuck with one of the exercises and I really could not find any solution to my issue after an hour of googling!! :((. The following code generates a ball on the canvas.
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(x, y, radius, 0, Math.PI * 2);
ctx.fillStyle = '#FFFFF';
ctx.fill();
ctx.closePath();
I needed the ball to change its colour after it collides with one of the bricks. In order to achieve that, I created a variable to store the colour value: let colour = '#FFFFF';, and later in a function which detects collisions, changed the value of this variable. It worked fine, however, whenever the ball changed its colour, so did the bricks and the paddle. As I tried to fix this, I found out that whenever I manually change the colour of either a ball, a brick or a paddle (all of which are set in different functions), all of the objects change the colour as well.
This is very strange, because if in an emply .js file I make just two shapes and colour them differently it works fine:
const canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.rect(0, 0, 20, 40);
ctx.fillStyle = 'cyan';
ctx.fill();
ctx.closePath();
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(50, 50, 20, 0, Math.PI*2);
ctx.fillStyle = 'black';
ctx.fill();
ctx.closePath();
But with all the game code I have right now, I can not assign different colour to different objects, they all change colour instead! I have no idea how to fix this and change just the colour of the ball! Anyone knows what might be causing the issue? Please help, thank you so much in advance 🙏

Looks like a minor error with the colour hex codes you're using for your fillStyle, which are invalid. See the corrections in the snippet below from:

To:

const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
//Ball variables
const radius = 10;
// Fix colour
let colour = '#FF0000';

Variable does not go into local storage and does not appear on other page. (JavaScript/HTML)

I am trying to create a scoreboard for my game by using local storage to carry over the score variable after a game is finished by a user. However, this is not working for some reason. I am relatively new to coding so I did some research on local storage but couldn't get the code to work to no avail. Could someone help me with this code thanks.

When I run it and after playing the game, the score should be added onto the scoreboard in decending order (highest to lowest). I have trouble bringing over the variable.
While there are no standard specifications about it, most browsers will consider different pages served from the file:// protocol as being different-origin.
This means your two pages will be considered as different-origin and will thus have their own Storage Area that they won't be able to share, just like you won't be able to access the Storage Area from www.xxxxx.com from www.yyyyy.com.
To overcome this limitation, the easiest is to run a local web-server on your machine. Many OSes comes with preinstalled such server, and all it requires is to activate it, and for the ones that don't do it, there are many free and easy solutions.
And if you are planning to play with web standards, it's a must have anyway.

As you can see, everything else about the code is good apart from the pause feature. I am completely bemused and don't know how to make it work at all. Please give a tips or a solution thanks.
EDit: I have put in a pause variable and function but its not working still.
First remove all errors appearing in your console:
1) Add a "paused" var to you code:
var paused = false;
2) Remove unnecessary code:
if(!paused)
{
update();
}
3) Your togglePause function is using a keycode var that does not exists. Change it to:
function togglePause() {
paused = !paused;
draw();
}
Calling the draw function will do the trick to continue the game when paused.
4) And fix the function that calls it:
function pauseGameKeyHandler(e) {
var keyCode = e.keyCode;
switch(keyCode){
case 80: //p
togglePause();
break;
}
}
5) At the end of your draw function add a test to the paused variable:
if(!paused) {
requestAnimationFrame(draw);
}
