The things in it
| Paddle | Arrow keys (8 directions), Left/Right only, Speed 60. |
|---|---|
| Ball | Bouncing ball, Speed 30, starts moving Up diagonals, with a little Wobble when bouncing so it never gets stuck in a loop. |
| Brick | Stays still. Ten columns and four rows, placed with Make gridโฆ. |
| Score, Lives | Shown at the top corners. |
| You Win | A big yellow Text with Visible when the level starts off. |
The rules, one by one
The paddle cannot slide off the sides. Stop steps it back onto the screen.
Only the brick that was hit is destroyed, because the condition picks only that one.
A bouncing ball flies straight until a rule says Bounce. Without this rule it would go through the paddle.
The top and the two sides are walls. The bottom is left out on purpose.
Falling off the bottom costs a life. The ball goes back to a spot 24 pixels above the paddle, wherever the paddle is.
This one is not red. It is checked all the time, and acts the moment the lives run out.
When every brick is gone, the hidden message appears and the ball stops.
