In addition to Lew's very cogent advice, I would add two points:

1. When seeking guidance, consider focusing on the smallest possible 
aspect of the problem by preparing an sscce [1].

2. Notice how your code is growing by accretion, rather than design. In 
the specific case of menus, Action [2] "can be used to separate 
functionality and state from a component." In the general case of 
simulation, the Model–View–Controller pattern [3] is helpful. MVCGame 
[4] may serve as an introduction, and KineticModel [5] is a more 
elaborate example that also addresses elastic collision.
