Break Out

Inspiration

My inspiration came from building the simplest game to make my very first game Pong! but this slowly wore me down, I needed something more fun to play that can also be played single player, thus giving me the idea of Break Out, another old and easy to make game, but one with many variants, so I took my own twist with it and built it out of my Pong engine.

What it does

This is just the classic game Break Out, a fun to play, single player game, where you go to break as many bricks as possible without letting the ball get past you too many times.

How we built it

I built it out of my pong engine, just changing the orientation, sizing, and adding bricks that can be deleted in the future, I also was able to keep the same physics as pong which made it quite a bit easier.

Challenges we ran into

Challenges I ran into was orienting the game properly, learning all the new commands, and python. In school we are using java which made python a bit difficult since I don't remember much of it, but it was fun learning everything I did

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Something I'm proud of is this is my first game I ever made, I can proudly show it off and can keep changing the code as I go.

What we learned

Something I learned was pretty much everything in python, since I've only used it for 1 year then forgot about it since, until I made this game

What's next for Break Out

What's next is to keep working on the physics to iron out all the flaws in it, make sure I can get velocity correct and perfect. I also would like to work on implementing powerups in the future, which I would've loved to add for the hackathon but unfortunately didn't have enough time due to fixing bugs, and making sure it works.
