Yinan's Brick Breaker Game

Inspiration

I want to build a game with python and this is my first try using the pygame package.

What it does

There is only one level at this time and I have thought about implementing a level-up system. The structure has it included but hasn't been completed yet.

The rules:

The game will close (complete) if:

All the bricks are gone
The ball touches the lower boundary

How we built it

I use OOP and designed three different classes: Player, Brick, and Ball. Using the Pygame package, I'm able to start a while loop with a timer that constantly checks for intterupts.

Challenges we ran into

The hitbox for a round object is hard to implement and will increase the complexity of the game. However, a square hitbox might cause some bugs and some weird behaviors of the ball.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I have got my hands on an actual project that I wanted to do for a long time. As long as I'm making progress, I'm happy.

What we learned

Having a structure of the entire project really helps to develop any programs. I would plan ahead next time because it really saves you tons of trouble.
