Brick Blitz - Click the Green Flag to start. At Game End Click the Gold Cup to turn the Leaderboard On/Off. Move Mouse to move Paddle (finger on touch screens) Bounce off Paddle based on dist. from Paddle centre. Speed (10 at Level 1) increases by 2 each Level. Scoring for each Level (the game NOW has 5 Levels): L1: 33 Bricks @ 1 point each = 33 points L2: 44 Bricks @ 2 points each = 88 points (Max=121) L3: 55 Bricks @ 3 points each = 165 points (Max=286) L4: 66 Bricks @ 4 points each = 264 points (Max=550) L5: 77 Bricks @ 5 points each = 385 points (Max=935) To perhaps get on the 40 player Leaderboard, you need to get past Level 1.
Created by @gregatku for use in Coding Classes for Kids Unlimited, for whom I work as a Coding teacher. Extension of the Pong series of Exercises where focus is on the added feature of scoring by knocking down Bricks. The bricks are clones of a single Brick (Button2 from the Sprite Library). To ensure bricks are always knocked out by contact with the Ball we need the Ball Code to broadcast a message (& WAIT) to tell any Bricks touching the Ball at that time to disappear. Thanks to @BoltBait for his Cloud Leaderboard plugin. If you want to use it in your projects check it out here: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/379355578 Sadly some of its usefulness died when it became no longer possible to view Cloud Data via (See Data). However I have replaced it with my own now, which has support for up to 40 Scratchers to get on it.
