That would depend on how you wrote the rest of your code. It could be very easy, or it could be very hard. Have you tried to solve it yourself yet?
Stop asking for easy solutions. There are no easy solutions. There are only solutions. The 'easiest' solution can easily be added to your code no matter how you wrote it. And it's math. Not even complicated math. Just addition and a comparison. Seriously, you need like, an integer and 2 lines of code.

Maybe make an array of boolean? For eample:


var bricks : array 1 .. howevermanybricksyouhave of boolean

for i : 1 .. howevermanybricksyouhave
if bricks = true then
%...
end if
end for

You don't even need an array of boolean (but if you're smart, you'll have one anyway). How many bricks are on the screen at the beginning? How many are there at the end? When does the number of bricks on the screen decrease?
