Bricks
This fun game is intended for a single player. In this game, there is a set of bricks
at the top of the display, a paddle at the bottom, and a moving ball. The object of the
game is to strike the ball with the paddle, causing the ball to move diagonally and hit
the bricks at the top, without letting the ball hit the bottom boundary. The direction of
the ball is determined by the angle when the paddle hits it, head on or sideways. The
ball can hit more than one brick at a time. When a brick is hit by the ball, it
disappears, increasing the game score by the number of points assigned to that
brick.
The bricks in the fifth row have a point value of 30, the fourth-row bricks are
25 points, third-row bricks are 20 points, second-row bricks are 15 points, and the
first-row bricks are 10 points.
Game Rules
•
The game ends if the ball hits the bottom boundary or if all bricks are hit.
• The paddle area is determined by the left and right boundaries. The paddle will
not wrap around the screen to the other side.
How to Play
•
When a new game is started, the paddle is located in the center of the screen
in the lower boundary. The ball is located just above the paddle.
