breakout

A basic breakout game using PyGame.

The program consists of three modules:

• breakout.py - Contains the game loop and runs the game
• ball.py - A class to create, update, and draw the ball
• paddle.py - A class to create, update, and draw the paddle

To-do

1. Constrain the paddle so that no pixels leave the screen by limiting movement
2. Constrain the ball so that no pixels leave the screen by adding reflection
3. Detect ball/paddle collisions, reflect ball
4. Implement a "round" that ends when a ball touches the bottom of the screen
5. Implement a "game" that ends when 3 rounds have ended
6. Build a "wall" of "bricks" that includes 5 courses of 10 bricks
7. Detect ball/brick collisions, remove brick(s), reflect ball
