Hello, all! This is my work in progress for my Getting Started with Video Games course at Bellevue University. This is an assignment we have been working on for the past few weeks, and I have tried my best to tweak it to my liking. This if my first game using Pico-8 or any other software, so I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for playing!
Also, in version 0.2, I decided to display the score at the end of the game. My kids loved having a score to see which of them did better in the game since it was somewhat difficult for them. I also find myself losing fairly often in this game, but I was curious how well (or poorly) I did. I think this makes the score a more important part of the game.
Now, only 20 minutes later, I decided to add a frame to the game since playing online made it hard to detect the boundaries. I also adjust the score and life counters so they did not appear outside of the frame.
Not even one day has passed, and I am already at version 0.4. In this update, I made the width of the paddle a little wider since I tested it on others, and it seemed a little too difficult with the current paddle size. I also changed my initial ball position so that it would not get trapped in the side walls. I had this happen by chance; otherwise, I would not have known it would be an issue.
In version 0.5, I fixed a glitch where the ball could get trapped in the side walls. Nevermore!
