The repository is the first coding project built entirely from the ground-up in the course of the software engineering formation. The purpose is to rehearse computer science concepts and programming languages. Project specification was to develop a game application.
I did set myself with the additional objective to develop a real-time two players game (as opposed to just turn-by-turn).
About
Breakout Mayhem is a tribute to two masterpiece classics of computing games ✨Pong✨ and ✨Breakout✨. Two players compete with a paddle to control their ball and destroy as much bricks as possible and earn points. Bricks can contain surprises and super powers!

Most parameters of the game may be changed through a singleton object including ball speed, paddle control, number of lives, brick sizes, etc. Players can also easily build their own map via one Excel spreadsheet attached in the repository: layout, bricks, walls.
