First off your game is called blast out or something like that not pong, but sure. Make a procedure that is called when the [x,y] of the ball is beside or in the [x1,y1,x2,y2] of the box. Then have the procedure draw over the box and set the [x1,y1,x2,y2] values off the screen so that the ball can't hit them anymore.

i sujest keeping all block positions in an array and once the block is hit (rectangle collision detection) you set that array item as 0

ok here's how objects work(at least for me)
code:

type ball :
    record
        x, y : int
        visibility : boolean
    end record

var ball1 : ball
ball1.x := 1
ball1.y := 1
ball1.visibility := true
loop
    ball1.x += 1
    ball1.y += 1
    if ball1.x > 300 then
        ball1.visibility := false
        put "=O the event happend and the ball is invisible"
    end if

    if ball1.visibility then
        drawfilloval (ball1.x, ball1.y, 10, 10, 12)
    end if
    delay (10)
    cls
end loop


the ball1 is an object with these specifications x,y,visibility...
