Super Break Outss

This document summarizes the rules and gameplay for a Breakout clone called Super Breakout. The basic rules are: 1) lose a life if the ball hits the bottom, 2) blocks change color with each hit before breaking, and 3) the wall advances on the player. Variations that could be added include power ups like multi-balls or a sticky paddle, and power downs like changing the ball velocity. The game could be difficult to control due to the physics engine and need to control the speed and frame rate.

SUPER BREAKOUT

OVERVIEW
Using the paddle, you direct a ball that is bouncing around the screen in order to
break the blocks out of the wall above you.
Its been a long time since I played the original, but here are the basic rules that I
remember.

BASIC RULES
1. If the ball hits the bottom of the screen you loose a life.
2. The blocks have different levels of toughness, and if arent destroyed on the
first hit will change colors each time theyre hit.
3. The wall will advance on you every so often, with more wall being generated
behind it, indefinitely. Since were required to have 3 levels it might be
better not to generate more wall. The wall will not advance below a certain
point, but being so close to the paddle makes it very hard to clear them.
4. The ball will react to the motion of the paddle.

VARIATIONS
1. Power Ups/Downs: Have some blocks drop power up and power downs. Here
are some of the possible effects. Theyre all temporary effects.
a. Multi-balls Generates multiple balls on the screen, for maximum
chaos. Balls can hit the bottom of the screen and you wont lose a life
as long as there is one ball left on the screen.
b. Sticky Paddle The ball sticks to the paddle and you have to push a
button to release it.
c. Resize Paddle (shrink/grow) Resizes the paddle, either growing it or
shrinking it.
d. Change Ball Velocity (fast/slow) Changes the velocity of the ball.
e. Exploding Ball Ball is more powerful, and does an area of effect
damage. E.g. It does 3 points of damage to the block it hits, and 1
point of damage to any blocks within a certain radius of the ball.

DIFFICULTY
Depending on the variations you add to the game, this could be a hard game given
the following items.
a. Physics engine involved.
b. Control of speed/frame rate
