Bricks Breaker Game

This is "master" branch(main) of this repo; And presenting latest version (i.e, version no. 1.0) of the app.

It is the basic Desktop Game Application.It’s a GUI-based project used with the swing library to organize all the elements that work under the Brick Breaker game. Below, point by point complete detailed information is discussed.

Chapter 1: Introduction

1.1 Motivation :

Games are a fundamental way that humans interact and learn. They provide so many advantages for people of all interests and abilities. The main benefits of using computer games as learning tools, is related with problem solving, 21stcentury skills, integration of learning and assessment, collaboratives and interactivity, addressing cognitive as well as affective learning issues, and motivation for learning. Gaming is gaining a different level of attention not only from the youngsters but also from different age people. It is creating a virtual world where we can virtually live our life. Gaming has gained importance in Desktop application as well as in Android Application.

1.2 Need Of The Problem :

As a computer science student, we’ve to learn game development because this field requires some skills that already we've and at the same time we can enhance them.

For a ‘game design’ it can mean “emotional engineering” or “largely communication” whilst for the other “everything that goes into a game is more or less game design”. On a more formal matter, many designers have gone extra miles to explicate their conceptions on game design.

Game development can considerably improve our imagination skills, designings kills and the ability to produce new things. For a game to attract attention, it should also be unique. The more the game is realistic, the more appealing and charming it is.

Chapter 2: Problem Statement

2.1 Working Flow Of System :

We will implement a simple brick breaker game. We have layers of colored bricks and ball with which to break the layers. The player moves the paddle from left to right to keep the ball from falling.

The paddle doesn’t bounce the ball like a mirror, although it does so when the ball hits right in the middle. The closer the bounce take place to the left end of the paddle, a more significant left turn is added to an expected mirror bouncing.

A regular brick disappears when it’s hit by the ball, or breaks a little if it’s a bulkier brick. The basicuser interface may be similar to Figure 3.5.

The output screen that will be displayed after the game is finished is the result to our developed game. The output that is displayed is the result to the developed program. The result shows that if a user completes the game completely the output pops out as VICTORY but if the user could not break all the bricks the output screen displays the Game Over pop out. The victory screen looks like Fig 3.4

2.2 Software Implementation :

• 1. Paddle control :

     The paddle will be controlled by a mouse. The mouse’s moving to left or right will correspond to the paddle’s movement. The moving speed will also relate to how fast we move the mouse. By clicking on the left key, the paddle can launch extra balls as bonus in higher level rounds.

     Software will be used to keep track of the current status of the paddle, to see if it’s under special status, like elongated, shortened, multi-ball launching, or fireball launching (fireball can destroy all bricks in its trajectory).

• 2. Bouncing ball :

     Software will be used to assigning new locations of the ball as the ball bounce around walls (edges of the screen), bricks and paddle. When the angle of incidence changes, the angle of reflection changes too.

     We will also need a status tracker to see whether the ball is in regular status or fireball status. Also, we implement the game with player have multiple lives.

• 3. Bricks :

     For each brick, the software will have a status tracker. The tracker will record how many breaks needed to break a specific brick (different types of brick may need 1 or 2 or 3 times of breaking before they are destroyed), what special effect they have and when to release, and to display or not (remaining or destroyed).

• 4. Score counting :

     Software will count for the scores and calculate the bonus points gotten by how many bricks broken in a row and other effects. The score will be displayed on the up right

Chapter 3: Implementation

Prototype Model :

Chapter 4: Conclusion

4.1. Tech Stack :

• Developer: Java, Apache-Net-Beans, JFrame, JPanel, Java Graphics Kit, Game development.

• Client: Desktop with minimum 2 GB RAM.

4.2 Conclusion :

The major aim of this project is to increase the problem-solving skills. The project aims to create a 2D game in pc is successful . Where users can access the game with ease. In this we learned how java is used in game development and in other applications. We have discussed about how brick breakout game is developed in java.

Today many games are being produced in market. But this game is a new and a better version of a classic popular game which will increase the curiosity and eagerness among the users. Many action games are available today in market, but they are lacking in problem solving skills.

So, concluding our project, the Brick Breaker Game demonstrated our learning and new found expertise in Verilog coding, the understanding of basic NetBeans IDE, basic Java Programming Language, Teamwork & all, How to handle a real life project, And many more things; Also last but not the least i.e. solution for our aim of the project.

4.3 Future Scope :

The scope of the project is to develop a PC based 2D Game The programming language which will be used to build this game is C and opengl. The game will be influenced from Brick Breaker; the game will have space background and theme. Asteroids, Meteorites will be present as background of the game. The ball in the game is considered as a comet.

First the player has to move the board which will be situated at the bottom of the screen and there will be a ball which will bounce after it comes in contact with the board and hit the bricks. Once all the bricks are destroyed, the level will be completed.

There is only one level in the game at this point. There will be three life lines which is given to the player when the ball does not come in contact with the board. Standard of Each level will be increased with increase of number of bricks in each level. The board will move horizontally and will be controlled by the keyboard
