Show HN: Breakout Game – Smash a Brick, Read a Post
nabraj.comHi HN,
I was already building a breakout game[1] just for fun, but then I thought—what if the bricks were news? So now, every time you smash a brick, you get a post and have to decide: read it or toss it.
The idea came from realizing I skim through news way too fast, often skipping things that don’t immediately interest me. This was my way of slowing down and giving those overlooked posts a fighting chance.
Give it a try!
I also wrote a short post [2], detailing the physics behind the game. I spent quite a bit of time just fine-tuning the bounce logic: adjusting angles and adding random variations to make sure the movement feels just right.
