When all the bricks in level 01 have been destroyed, new ones appear (in the same position as the previous one), and the ball's speed increases.Each time the ball hits a "brick" (blue, green, yellow, orange, or red), the brick disappears.When the ball hits the platform, it returns in the opposite direction it came from.When it reaches an end, it hits the "wall" (edge). The platform moves left or right, according to the user's command.Then I defined the game mechanics and project structure based on what I learned. I watched the original Breakout gameplay a few times and played some versions on the internet. When starting to develop any application, and especially a game, you need to consider the main features or mechanics that will be implemented.

It was very cool to develop the whole project and see it running on the phone and the Raspberry Pi.īreakout remake built with Java and TotalCross running on Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. It seemed to be the safest way and, despite some strife, I don't regret it one bit. Also, because I work for TotalCross, I have access to developers with much more experience than I have and know the platform very well. It is an open source software development kit (SDK) and framework with a simple game engine that generates code for Linux Arm devices (like the Raspberry Pi) and smartphones. I considered using Godot, but that would mean I would hardly need to program at all. I also wanted to use a framework so that I did not need to do everything from scratch. Java is a great language for learning programming concepts, in part because it's a strongly typed language.ĭespite being free to choose any language or framework for my Breakout project, I chose to continue in Java to apply what I've learned in my coursework. Several of my courses use Processing, a software engine that uses Java.
