BrickOut - Pygame Project

Added by Ross Kilgariff 303 days ago

I wrote a simplified breakout/arkanoid clone. I wanted to add multiple brick types and map loading, but I got tendonitis, so coding takes way longer than usual. If this is enough, then I'll just leave it, but let me know if I need anything else.

Name: BrickOut

Controls:
A and D move the paddle left and right

Hint:
Try to hit the ball as close to center-paddle as you can.

Bugs:
Two bugs exist that I know of. One is a mis-bounce between clusters of bricks. The other is the ball getting stuck between the screen and paddle. I'll fix these when my arm is back to normal.

Tested on Python 2.5, 2.6 and 3.0 under Linux and Windows. To run, double-click Main.py after extracting the archive, or alternatively, open Main.py in your IDE and run it.

That's great, more than was required.

You have shown the use of:

  • Loading resources from file
  • Moving images
  • User control
  • Collision detection
  • Score keeping
  • Sound effects
  • General game concepts

Assuming you have your work done for your other modules, I suggest you take the weekend off, give your tendonitis a break.
