Summary

Challenge Overview: 
Use your array and random number generation skills to program this challenge where balls are randomly falling from the sky and you have to send your dog out to catch them before they hit the ground. To complete this challenge, you will have to make sure your variables are assigned properly, your if-statements are programmed correctly, your collisions are being detected perfectly, and that objects are being generated randomly.
Challenge Outcome:
A random ball (of 3) is generated at a random x position above the screen
When the user presses spacebar, a dog is spawned and runs to catch the ball
If the dog collides with the ball, the ball is destroyed
If the ball hits the ground, a “Game Over” debug message is displayed
The dogs and balls are removed from the scene when they leave the screen
