This is just the beginning sorry I am so quick sometimes.
I will always stop and discuss.  Anytime.

/**  make the brick wall   **/
void createWall(int x){

    infobrick[0] = createBrick( 10, 10, 30, 10, bO_DDGRAY, bO_RED);
}


/**   make a brick   **/
tHEBRICK createBrick(int x, int y, int length, int height,
                                   COLORREF pen, COLORREF brush){

    tHEBRICK abrick;
    abrick.pen = pen;
    abrick.brush = brush;
    abrick.rcBrick.left = x;
    abrick.rcBrick.top = y;
    abrick.rcBrick.right= x + length;
    abrick.rcBrick.bottom = y + height;

    return abrick;
}

/** drawwall code I am experimenting with **/
/** note: it will only draw the frist brick **/
void drawWall(HDC hdc){

    COLORREF lastpen = NULL;
    COLORREF lastbrush =  NULL;

    SelectObject(hdc, GetStockObject(DC_PEN));
    SelectObject(hdc, GetStockObject(DC_BRUSH));
    lastpen = SetDCPenColor(hdc, infobrick[0].pen);    // pen and brush come from global array infobrick[]
    lastbrush = SetDCBrushColor(hdc, infobrick[0].brush);


    Rectangle(hdc,                       //  rectangle comes from global array infobrick[]
            infobrick[0].rcBrick.left,      // int nLeftRect    
            infobrick[0].rcBrick.top,       // int nTopRect
            infobrick[0].rcBrick.right,     // int nRightRect
            infobrick[0].rcBrick.bottom);   // int nBottomRect

    SetDCPenColor(hdc, lastpen);
    SetDCBrushColor(hdc, lastbrush);

}

I was going to use RECT* , like paddle, without the moving part, so is it a bad idea or go for a nested for lines/rows changing color for each line(that's a detail)?
