This one beats the computer easily. The first image shows the score as 0 - 20. The player had just won the 21st point. But the system shuts down before showing the final score.

This version has a number of improvements, most notably the algorithm in DynamicInfo.getBlocks that identifies blocks. It's both simpler and significantly faster. It takes advantage of the fact that each block (computer paddle, puck, and user paddle) is a different color. The earlier algorithm just made use of the fact that they were all different from the background.

Also, the user paddle centers itself (more or less) after each hit. This eliminates long sequences of hits in which the paddle doesn't move.

Yes, getBlocks is really optimized, that’s what I noticed first time I ran your code.

A bit of code cleanup.
