What is it?

Breakout is a simplification of the 1976 arcade classic Breakout created by Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs, two of the founding fathers of Apple Inc.

Atari 2600 port of Breakout.

The gameplay features 10 rows of 10 bricks each, a ball and a paddle that the player can control. The goal is for the player to destroy all of the bricks by guiding the ball on a collision course with them using either the walls, the bricks or the paddle. However, if the player misses the ball with the paddle and allows the ball to move underneath the player, the game will instantly end.

Motivation

We've all played a remake of Breakout called DX-Ball in our younger years, this gave us the motivation and inspiration to try and build one of our own for an exam assignment.
