Breakout - Classic Arcade Game

This is a simple implementation of the classic arcade game Breakout, created using Lua programming language and Love2D framework.

Introduction

Breakout is a game where the player controls a paddle to bounce a ball to break bricks. The objective is to clear all the bricks from the screen using the ball and paddle.

Features

• Classic Breakout gameplay experience
• Randomly spawning power-ups (e.g., multiball, key)
• Paddle resizing based on game events (e.g., losing a heart, reaching a certain score)
• Locked bricks that require a key power-up to break
• Victory state when all bricks are cleared
• Game over state when all lives are lost

Controls

• Right Arrow: Move paddle right
