Time for action – restarting the game while pressing the R key

We will assign the R key as the restart key for our game. Now, let's perform the following set of steps:

   function removeAllBodies() {
     // loop all body list to destroy them
     for (var body = carGame.world.GetBodyList(); body != null; body = body.GetNext()) {
       carGame.world.DestroyBody(body);
     }
   }

3. We move the create world, ramp, and the car code into a function named restartGame. They were originally in the page loaded handler function:

   function restartGame() { removeAllBodies(); // create the ground createGround(250, 270, 250, 25, 0); // create ...
