Breakout

Breakout

My First Game , integrative project for the 1st period. Video demonstration: https://youtu.be/bjlyn--ibS4

Scope

What does the game do? What is his objective? What will not be implemented in the game (limits)?

In the game there is horizontal movement, marking the current and highest score, destruction of scenery and physical interaction of 3 bodies: bar, ball, bricks and ball. His objective is to destroy all the bricks rendered on the screen. A story mode with progression will not be implemented, as the nature of the game is very simple and there is no need for it.

Plot

What is the story of the game? Character motivation?

The game has no story, as it is a similar replica of the game called Breakout , originally released in 1976 for the arcade (45 years ago!) and in 1978 for the Atari 2600. The player's motivation is to destroy the bricks without leaving the ball which destroys them, leaving the screen (otherwise it's game over) and achieving a higher score than the previous match.

Gameplay dynamics

What keys does your game use? Does the screen move? In which direction? Are there examples of games that serve as inspiration? Which?

It uses the “A” and “D” keys on the computer keyboard, in the left and right direction, that is, only horizontally. Pong and the original Breakout itself serve as inspiration.
