Description

Break is a single-player Breakout variant.

The player controls a paddle (with the left and right arrow keys), which moves horizontally along the bottom of the screen, and attempts to break all of the blocks present on the top by bouncing a ball. The player can choose paddle size (1 - 5), the number of rows of blocks (1 - 10), and the angle the initial ball bounces at (-30 to +30). The player has 5 balls, and it's game over when all are lost.
