Brick Breaker

• Demo
• Details

  I made this game in the summer of 2019, between my first and second years of undergrad. It was my first introduction to JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. It is based on some great online tutorials: Intro to Game Development with JavaScript and 2D breakout game using pure JavaScript.. Some custom features I implemented were:

  • Increased ball speed and a smaller paddle width as the game progresses.
  • Pausing the game when new levels are reached or when a life is lost.
  • 5 levels with increasing difficulty.
  • Improved ball rebound off the bricks.
  • Customized styling elements to make the game look a bit more visually appealing.

The project took me just over a week to complete. It was a great introduction to understand how JavaScript, HTML, and CSS work together.
