little help please?

hi, ive seen many physic simulations over the web such as a ball falling into a load of blocks. now i can do this and have done well. now when i press p the game engine will start and a ball will fall destroying a building of blocks.
my problem is how do i render this animation. i press alt-a but the ball does not fall. how do i trigger the ball to fall at frame 1?

You need to record the movement of the objects during the simulation. On the top menu select Game / Record Game Physics to IPO. Run the physics animation by pressing P, then ESC to stop when the simulation is complete.
Alt+A will then run the animation which can then be rendered out as a normal animation from the render panels
