BREW Breakout - 2 / 9 -
Overview
This is a traditional Breakout game that uses directional keys or specific number keys to move the racket to shoot back the ball and destroy the blocks.
To make it more interesting, the following features have been added.
- Normal blocks which will disappear when hit once.
- Hard blocks which will disappear when hit several times.
- Invisible blocks that can be hit, but not seen.
These 3 types of blocks will be used and each level is cleared when the wall of blocks is completely destroyed.
In this game, application status is saved in the _status member variable of the Block class. The following image shows the correspondence between each state and the value of _status.
