    Time for action – resetting and changing levels

    We'll need to create functions that set up the first and second level in the game. If a level needs to be replayed, only the current level the user lost in can be accessed.

    1. Create a new function called changeLevel1(). This will be placed below the updateBall() function:
      function changeLevel1()
    2. Clear the bricks group when the player loses the round and reset them:
        bricks:removeSelf()
  
  bricks.numChildren = 0
  bricks = display.newGroup()
    3. Remove the alertDisplayGroup:
        
  alertBox:removeEventListener("tap", restart)
  alertDisplayGroup:removeSelf()
  alertDisplayGroup = nil
    4. Reset the ball and paddle position:
        
  ball.x = (display.contentWidth * 0.5) - (ball.width * 0.5)
  ball.y = (paddle.y - paddle.height) - (ball.height * 0.5) -2
  
  paddle.x = display.contentWidth * 0.5
