Breakout

1970s Arcade — Teaches brick grids, angle-based collision, power-ups, and progressive difficulty. Natural next step after Pong.

Concept: Take the Pong paddle and ball, add a grid of colored bricks. Ball destroys bricks on contact.

Concept: Ball bounce angle depends on where it hits the paddle (center = flat, edge = steep). No more straight angles.

Concept: Wide paddle, multi-ball, sticky catch, laser shot. Random drops from destroyed bricks.

Concept: Multiple brick layouts per level, colors = different point values, speed increase per level.

Concept: Lives system, score tracking per level, game over / restart, high score persistence (localStorage).
