I am trying to modify ball in maze to allow the user to move the ball with the mouse. the ball passes through the maze.

# This tutorial shows how to detect and respond to collisions. It uses solids

# and a handler, how to detect collisions, and how to dispatch function based
# on the collisions. All of this is put together to simulate a labyrinth-style
# game

# Most times, you want collisions to be tested against invisible geometry
# rather than every polygon. This is because testing against every polygon
# in the scene is usually too slow. You can have simplified or approximate
# geometry for the solids and still get good results.
#
# Sometimes you'll want to create and position your own collision solids in
# code, but it's often easier to have them built automatically. This can be
# done by adding special tags into an egg file. Check maze.egg and ball.egg
# and look for lines starting with <Collide>. The part is brackets tells
# Panda exactly what to do. Polyset means to use the polygons in that group
# as solids, while Sphere tells panda to make a collision sphere around them
# Keep means to keep the polygons in the group as visable geometry (good
# for the ball, not for the triggers), and descend means to make sure that
# the settings are applied to any subgroups.
#
# Once we have the collision tags in the models, we can get to them using
# NodePath's find command
# Find the collision node named wall_collide
self.walls = self.maze.find("**/wall_collide")
# Collision objects are sorted using BitMasks. BitMasks are ordinary numbers
# with extra methods for working with them as binary bits. Every collision
# solid has both a from mask and an into mask. Before Panda tests two
# objects, it checks to make sure that the from and into collision masks
# have at least one bit in common. That way things that shouldn't interact
# won't. Normal model nodes have collision masks as well. By default they
# are set to bit 20. If you want to collide against actual visable polygons,
# set a from collide mask to include bit 20
#
# For this example, we will make everything we want the ball to collide with
# include bit 0
self.walls.node().setIntoCollideMask(BitMask32.bit(0))
# CollisionNodes are usually invisible but can be shown. Uncomment the next
# line to see the collision walls

# Finally, we create a CollisionTraverser. CollisionTraversers are what
# do the job of walking the scene graph and calculating collisions.
# For a traverser to actually do collisions, you need to call
# traverser.traverse() on a part of the scene. Fortunately, ShowBase
# has a task that does this for the entire scene once a frame. By
# assigning it to self.cTrav, we designate that this is the one that
# it should call traverse() on each frame.

# Collision traversers tell collision handlers about collisions, and then
# the handler decides what to do with the information. We are using a
# CollisionHandlerQueue, which simply creates a list of all of the
# collisions in a given pass. There are more sophisticated handlers like
# one that sends events and another that tries to keep collided objects
# apart, but the results are often better with a simple queue
self.cHandler = CollisionHandlerQueue()
# Now we add the collision nodes that can create a collision to the
# traverser. The traverser will compare these to all others nodes in the
# scene. There is a limit of 32 CollisionNodes per traverser
# We add the collider, and the handler to use as a pair
