Made Java program (with OpenJFX, GIT, Markdown, IntelliJ) that allows someone to play the Breakout game, in which a ball bounces around the window and destroys blocks as it hits them.
- Brick breaks when intersecting around the vicinity of the top left of the ball.
- Paddle can be controlled by arrow keys and mouse, and can stop at edges to not go off the screen.
- Text field labeling when game is over, how many lives you are on, and what level you are on.
- 3 levels based on text input, and semantic change to indicate game is over afterwards.
- Main class: Main.java
- Data files needed: level1.txt, level2.txt, level3.txt
- Key/Mouse inputs: RIGHT, LEFT, UP, DOWN, W, S, A, D, L, R
- Cheat keys: Shift paddle left and right, grow paddle, shrink paddle, grow ball, shrink ball, Randomly recolor ball, Randomly recolor paddle, Add a life, Reset the ball
I made an assumption that the brick breaks when intersecting around the vicinity of the top left of the ball/rectangle, which was an assumtion to simplify the ball class and the collision method's design.
In order to make a new level, all one has to do is add a text file to the Resources folder with the format level_.txt with their specification for levels, where each row in the text file is a row of bricks, and 1 represents a brick present and 0 represents no brick present. One thing I wasn't able to add by the deadline but would be pretty cool is a way to create a randomly generated text file with rows of 1s and 0s to generate a randomized level for the user.
