breakout's Introduction

breakout

Using this guide to making pong as a starting point, we create the classic game Breakout.

This is an experiment to see if we can all learn Haskell and collaborate together without a rigid process in place!

Commits

Policy:

Use `git pull --rebase` always.

Do commit directly to master.

Think about what tasks you pick up and any conflicts that are likely.

Small commits are preferred.

Tasks

Assign yourself to a task by prefixing with your name.

bugs
- ball can hit the right or left side of blocks directly from below and the ball does not rebound
tidy code:
- separate collision logic
- generalise collision fns/ use function composition to get DRY
- encapsulate all dimensions in a data record?
improve collisions with blocks/paddle
- allow size of paddle to vary independently to size of blocks
blocks
- different coloured blocks earn different points and require multiple hits
- interpreter - read block data from file to generate level
- obstructions - blocks that do not disappear but do not need to be cleared
dying
- restarts game after next key press
scoreboard
- display highscores
- enter name for highscore
tests
