Creating a simple puzzle game

I like to know how to create a Break-out clone type game.

This should be a nice beginner project and quite easy to make.

Playfield:

  • Create a playfield by placing bars (sprites) on the left and right side of the screen.
  • When the ball collides with the left or right wall set the balls movementspeed on the x-axis to a negative value (speed = speed *-1) and repeat it for the left wall.

Paddle:

  • Set the paddles x position to that of the mouse pointer for movement
  • Limit the x-position so that it stays inside the game window (0 < paddle position < window width)
  • If the ball collides with the paddle negate it’s y-speed

Bricks:

  • If a brick collides with the ball - destroy the brick and negate the balls movement speed

Ball:

  • Move it in a random direction
  • If it hits an obstacle change the direction as described above
  • If it’s position is out of screen (there is a behaviour for that) the player lost

:slight_smile: Sounds great. I can’t wait to get started. Thank you for helping me.
