BlueJ Breakout

My final project for AP Computer Science A in 2022: a replica of Atari Breakout in Java

demo gif

This project has several cool features:

  1. The lower blocks are easier to break (1 hit), but you only get one point. The higher blocks are much harder to break (8 hits), but you get 8 points!
  2. The ball speeds up as you gain points!
  3. There is a persistent high score stored at ~/.breakout_high_score.txt (or %USERPROFILE%\.breakout_high_score.txt)
  4. I used public domain sound effects and the Pixeloid Sans font from dafont.com/pixeloid-sans.font
  5. I used a bunch of cool tenhniques using Swing to hide the cursor, make it fullscreen, etc.
  6. It's fun and hard to play!
