BREAKOUT Project - Help with collision detection

Processing Coding Questions

I know that you earlier suggested a different use of array for the brick positions but I would like to keep it the way I did so that I can really perfect this method and really understand what I am doing and what I started.

I still have a little problem with collision detection. Sometimes, the ball will hit a brick’ side and it won’t disappear at all which I find quite annoying.

I think that there is a problem with the distance covered but I am not quite sure. Is there anything that seems a little bit weird here?

//Je dessine mes briques - boucle for 
  for (i=0; i<50; i++) {
    bx = i%10*110+10; 
    by = 40*(i/10)+10; 
    // Les briques apparaissent et sont dessinées si blocks[i]==1, elles disparaissent si blocks[i]==0
    if (blocks[i]==1) { 
      // Draw the block
      fill(255);
      stroke(0);
      rect(bx+40, by+10, bw, bh);
    }
    //Détection collision entre ma balle et les briques
    //Haut-bas des briques
    if(xBalle > (bx+4) && xBalle < (bx+96) &&
    yBalle > by && yBalle<(by+30) && blocks[i]==1){ //OK
      blocks[i]=0; //Disparition
      ySpeed = - ySpeed;
  }
    //Détection collision entre ma balle et côté 
   if (((xBalle > (bx-5) && xBalle < bx) || (xBalle > (bx+100) && xBalle < (bx+105))) &&
      yBalle > by && yBalle < (by+30) && blocks[i]==1) { //OK
      blocks[i]=0; //Disparition
      xSpeed = - xSpeed;
      }
      
    //Détection suite
    if (((xBalle > (bx-1) && xBalle < (bx+5)) || (xBalle > (bx+95) && xBalle < (bx+101))) &&
      yBalle > by && yBalle <(by+30) && blocks[i]==1) { //OK
      blocks[i]=0; //Disparition
      xSpeed = - xSpeed; 
      ySpeed = - ySpeed;
  }
  }
