2007/07/22 – alpha release
The code needs some cleanup, but everything is here.
Suggestions welcome in the forum.
Ideas for making this game your own.
add some color
The images were left pretty basic on purpose. This is probably the easiest way to spruce up the game.
special bricks
Many breakout style games have special bricks that change the gameplay temporarily.
a level editor
Add more bricks, and draw a picture. Might go better with a bigger playing area.
a local high score list with google gears
Gears lets you store data locally in a database. No internet connection required.
mouse control
In which case you’d just move the paddle to a new mouse position on every tick, and track the difference in paddle.dx for the friction effect.
