I've been having some trouble making the player get destroyed through the camera. In my application, I made the camera follow the player(the ball). But the camera can only follow the ball upward. So what I want to accomplish is, when the player(the ball) reaches the bottom of the interface(the screen) it gets destroyed. After it gets destroyed it would be good, if a new activity(new screen) pops up, that says "Game over". Thanks a lot for the great support. the interface of the application
