OOPS Concepts:

When making this game, the following OOPS concepts were applied:

• Abstraction:
  All the functionality in main.py is implemented via intuitive commands like ball.move() and board.render().

• Encapsulation:
  Each game element has it's own class and methods to make the operation and functioning of those game elements simpler.

• Inheritance:
  Defines a class that inherits all the methods and properties from another class.

• Polymorphism:
  Different classes have methods with the same name.
