I'm trying to apply OOP in this bouncing ball code in order to have multiple balls bouncing around the screen. The objective of this code is to create a method called settings, which controls all the settings for the screen and the bouncing behaviour of multiple balls, under the class Ball. However, I keep on getting errors related to attributes (e.g., speed). I'm new to OOP in Python so your help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
