Smash Out!
A basic Breakout clone written in BASIC, Smash Out gives you a very small ball
and a very small bat to break down the brick wall. The small size of the bat
is helped slightly by the fact that there are some walls even behind the bat,
where the ball will bounce if you miss it. In the centre of the back wall is
still a hole for the ball to pass through, though. As you break down the upper
rows of bricks, the back wall will first disappear. One the next row of
bricks, your bat will move close to the wall, giving you less time to catch
the ball. Breaking bricks even higher up will shrink your bat to the size of
only a few pixels. Due to buggy collision detection, the ball will sometimes
be reflected from invisible parts of your paddle, and it is possible for the
ball to bounce through the gaps between bricks, destroying bricks much further
up before bouncing back straight through the bricks further down.
