Journal Entry 5

Date:

23.4.2023

Activity:

- "Juicing up" the breakout game from the practicals

Notes:

I added a camera shake upon impact of the ball and random colouring of the bricks when initializing them for a new game. I also tried adding a function, where the ball slows down on collision with the bricks to make the collision more "impactful", like they do in some games on hitting the enemy with a melee attack. The feature is there, but it unfortunately doesn't have the particular effect i was hoping for. Still, it was fun letting my creativity flow for a bit :D

Side Note:

I'm so so sorry for the super late hand-in. On the week it was supposed to be handed in, the finished build of Project B has also had it's due date and in the midst of finishing Project B, i completely forgot about this assignment and remembered it again just now, although i did all the work on the practicals and i just forgot to upload it to itch. I hope it's not gonna be too much of a problem and if there's some bonus work or anything i should do to make up for it, i gladly will. I'll also let Veronika know on Discord, just to make sure

Time Spent:

- Juicing up the base Breakout game: 2H  on and after the practicals

Outcome:

the attached build of the upgraded Breakout game
