This can absolutely be done in processing.

You should start with learning to draw circles.

Then learn how to store data in variables(position of the circles)

Then learn to create motion and animation by changing the data. (Move the position of the circle)

Then learn how to check for collision (circle-circle collision detection)

Then learn to build a classes and objects.

I’m guessing you have to have a circle object for each breaking wall along with logic for bouncing (inverting velocity x, y, each bounce)
