[FINAL GAME UPDATED] Another Brick Out Of The Wall

My attempt at the Brick Out Game…

I’ve added lives and a different music track. You get 3 lives to start off with.

You can press M at any time to toggle the music and S to toggle the sound effects.

I’ve also changed the brick and paddle designs added explosions and a trail on the ball. Seems to play quite well.

Also, played with limiting the maximum velocity. Bit of Pythagoras going on there. Also modified collision code to look for minimum x and y velocities where the ball gets stuck in a loop. In this case if the x velocity is smaller than +/-2 it increases it slightly. Same with y axis and minimum velocity of 5

Let me know if you get past level 2 and what you think of the level 3 and level 4 designs… :slight_smile:

A very relaxing experience, playing this game :slight_smile:

Works well overall, my only suggestion would be to decrease the angle that the ball gets fired at from the paddle, so that the player can aim more accurately when they re-spawn.

Feels really good what you did with the velocity there and I like the trail behind the ball, makes it easier to keep track of it. Still, the ball could use another color or something, I mostly looked for the trail because the light grey is kind of hard to notice.

Nice job! I like the trail after the ball and the appearance of a separation between the bricks. Overall a nice design.
