I made a brick breaking style puzzle game. Using Java swing...

**ReikonKeiri** · 06-11-2013, 07:08 AM

This took only a couple hours to code after I figured out how to do it. Any ideas on how to make it more fun would be appreciated. Included source code if you're interested. Rules are self explanatory and the difficulty caps at 10 (if anyone makes it to 10 you are a freak of nature). I haven't made it to 7 myself.

Why did I make it in Swing? Only because I know Swing like the back of my hand and wanted to code something like this without learning a new language. I'm aware there are hundreds of easier ways >_>.

ps, find any bugs let me know
pss, as always with my releases make sure your java is up to date or else it probably wont work

edit: Added hotkeys. P = pause. S = switch modes. X = speedup.

Made another QOL change. I want to add a 3rd action mode, but I'm not sure what it would do yet. Ideas?

Current world record is 15mil, held by me. Someone try to beat it :o

I'm sorry that you had to use swing.

It was a choice not a requirement. I coded this for fun. I've never had a school project nearly as fun to make as this was.

Anyway, fixed a funny bug. New version posted. Thanks HalfStep!

will be playing this in an effort to hold the world record (however significant that may or may not be)

edit: got 10mil and failed. it's pretty fun but it just doesn't have enough for me to keep coming back

Added "Challenge Mode". You can play on the hardest difficulty right away. It used to be twice as hard but I dumbed it down. It's still dumb as fuck.

edit: really really fucking dumb jesus. need better controls to make it even feasible rofl

**ReikonKeiri** · 06-12-2013, 10:56 PM

based god delivers. new controls almost make it too easy... hmm. Also added a how to play section.

i need to come up with another random coding project to get started on so I can lay this one to rest.
