Brick design

Having considered the measurement of the game play area, the number of pixels between the left and right borders and the number of pixels between the top border and the top edge of the paddle, I tried to divide the play area to include a suitable number of bricks. I have decided to have a brick grid consisting of 12 x 7 bricks.

Each of the three levels in the game has a different brick design pattern, these are:
Level 1 = Green and purple checkerboard
Level 2 = Rainbow in horizontal colour-bands
Level 3 = White with green squares spelling “IOCT”

Level 1









Level 2









Level 3










Each of the bricks uses three colours, a main colour, a highlight colour and lowlight colour. The use of three colours creates the pseudo 3D effect, used throughout the game.
