Terminal based arcade game in Python3 inspired from the old classic brick breaker game.
The player uses a paddle with a bouncing ball to smash bricks and get a high score before the time runs out.
The game is over when all bricks (except unbreakable ones) are finished or the time runs out. You can exit the game voluntarily by pressing 'q'.
A life is lost when all balls on the screen go into the abyss.
'a' : Move Paddle Left
'd' : Move Paddle Right
's' : Release Ball from Paddle
(WARNING: no caps-lock)
Ball deflects upon hitting paddle. More distance from center, more the deflection. When a ball hits a brick, its strength is reduced. Balls collide with the 3 walls.
When a explosive brick is hit, it damages all bricks around it. This may initiate a chain reaction.
Power ups fall down when a brick is damaged completely. These can be collected by the paddle to activate them. The powers ups expire after a short while. Bricks damaged by thru-ball and Explosive Bricks do not generate powerups.
- Grapes (Multi-ball) - All balls duplicate with sister balls go in opposite direction.
- Strawberry (Ball Grab) - Ball does not simply bounce off paddle, it waits for user to release it by pressing 's'.
- Carrot (Elongate Paddle) - Paddle becomes longer.
- Lemon (Shorten Paddle) - Paddle shrinks in size.
- Bomb (Thru-ball) - Ball completely damages any brick (irrespective of strength) in its way without reflecting from it.
- Clock (Fast Ball) - Game speeds up. Higher Frame Rate.
- Heart (Extra Life) - Yipee!
All power ups are lost when a life is lost.
Your score depends on the time played and bricks broken.
- More the bricks broken => Higher Score
- More Time Played => Less Score
