About
Breakout is a 1976 Atari arcade game designed by Nolan Bushnell and Steve Bristow and prototyped by Steve Wozniak, in which the player bounces a ball off a paddle to destroy eight rows of bricks lining the top of the screen. Javascript Breakout is an HTML5 canvas implementation of Breakout, built as a teaching project with an accompanying blog series covering its game-state management, rendering performance, collision detection, gameplay balance, sound, and touch-event support.
