Brick Breaker with Score Tracking
Project Overview:
Brick Breaker with Score Tracking is a classic arcade-style browser game where the player uses a paddle to bounce a ball and break a wall of bricks. The objective is to clear all the bricks without losing the ball. The game includes a real-time score tracker, multiple levels, and an optional login system to save and display user scores. The project enhances understanding of game mechanics, canvas rendering, collision detection, and real-time scoring.
Core Objectives:
-
Develop a fully functional 2D browser game using front-end web technologies
-
Implement collision detection for paddle, ball, and bricks
-
Track and display score, level, and remaining lives in real-time
-
Allow user authentication and score saving (if backend is used)
-
Create a smooth, responsive, and engaging gameplay experience
Technology Stack:
Frontend:
-
HTML5 Canvas – for rendering game graphics
-
CSS3 – for layout, animations, and styling
-
JavaScript – for game logic, collision handling, and scoring
Optional Backend:
-
PHP, Java (Spring Boot), or Node.js (Express) – to store scores and user profiles
-
MySQL or MongoDB – to save game data (leaderboards, user history)
