4thBreakout - Breakout with four paddles

[ricardo_sdl]

Hello!
4thBreakout is my first game developed with PureBasic:





You can download it here:

https://ricardo-sdl.itch.io/4thbreakout

You'll have access to the windows and linux binaries and source code.
The game is really simple, it was developed with the 5.71 LTS demonstration version of PureBasic. I've tested it on Lubuntu-18.10-x64 and Windos 10 64 bits.

PureBasic built-in libraries and commands really make it easy to program games. The simplicity of the language helps too.

Play the game, take a look at the source code. Your ideas and suggestions are welcome!

Thank you! I already have made other simple games using other language/framework. But it is the first game created with PureBasic
I hope to share other games in the future.

Changing this lines is little bit easier to move the paddles.
Maybe you want to use it for "easy" and "harder" play options.

Code: Select all

     If LeftPressed Or UpPressed <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< add:  Or UpPressed 
        Paddles()\x - 1000 * ElapsedTimneInS
      ElseIf RightPressed Or DownPressed  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< add:  Or DownPressed
        Paddles()\x + 1000 * ElapsedTimneInS
      EndIf
      If Paddles()\x < 50;check boundaries
        Paddles()\x = 50
      ElseIf (Paddles()\x + SpriteWidth(#PaddleH)) > (ScreenWidth() - 50)
        Paddles()\x = ScreenWidth() - 50 - SpriteWidth(#PaddleH)
      EndIf
      *HorizontalPaddle = @Paddles()
    Else;vertical paddles
      If UpPressed Or LeftPressed  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< add:  Or LeftPressed  
        Paddles()\y - 1000 * ElapsedTimneInS
      ElseIf DownPressed Or RightPressed  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< add:  Or RightPressed  
        Paddles()\y + 1000 * ElapsedTimneInS
      EndIf

Hi!
Small update: The game source code is now compatible with SpiderBasic. Which means that you can play it on your browser!

Great job! Maybe you could add some zones on the paddles so that the ball bounces at different angles?

Thanks for the suggestion. I did try to implement something like this, but never got the hang of it. Maybe I'll try again.
