Breakout (Brick Breaker) Game Using Java : version 2

Breakout Game using Java

This is the second version in the development of the Breakout (Brick Breaker) game.  In this version, I added the bricks to the game.



Adding the bricks to the game was not easy.  I had to import some modules and make sure that the outline for the bricks was well done.  Making the bricks involved creating a nested loop.

There was a problem with the ball.  Once the ball connected with a brick, the ball would not bounce off randomly. Instead the ball would continue on a direct path.  I needed to add code so that the ball would bounce randomly after making contact with a brick.



I still have an issue with the ball leaving the screen. This can be seen in the image above. Once the ball leaves the playing screen, the program generates a yellow streak. I will need to fix this.  Most likely, I will increase the size of the playing screen.


In the next stage, I will need to add the score and increase the complexity of the game.  I will do this over the week-end, hopefully.

This is my first attempt at a maze game in Python. The white squares are the walls and the blue circle is the first player. I will continue on with the game and post the final version.  After learning how to make basic games in Python using Turtle, I plan to move on to making simple games using Pygame.

Space wars - Python 3 This is my first version of Space Wars  in Python 3 using C. Thomson's ideas and Turtle. I made this a few weeks ago but am only getting around to post it today.  It doesn't have any sound. CT developed his program on the Mac.  However, the sound code doesn't work with windows.  The program was developed using Turtle. I am using Python's turtle module to develop games now. I play to start with Pygame before the end of the year.
