Course Project Write up

CS410P Joshua Lee

What was built

The course project I worked on was recreating the classic game Breakout in rust using the ggez crate.

How it worked

Breakout is a game where the goal is for the player to move a paddle on the bottom of the screen left and right to bounce a ball to break all the blocks without letting the ball touch the bottom of the screen.

The ggez crate allowed us to draw and make all assets while also providing all the tools to we needed to make the game.

What doesn't work

Sometimes the collision doesn't work exactly as though we wanted it to and can result in weird bounces, but for the most part the game does exactly what we wanted it to!

What lessons were learned

Using the ggez crate was definitely a fun new experience, on top of making an actual game. It was challenging learning how exactly a game is made and has given me a lot of insight on the entire process. I really liked how the ggez crate even gave us the tools to render our own assets without having to draw them ourselves!
