Breakout! (bug fix)
A bug fix to my first small breakout game. This is NOT the sequel that I have promised, using trigonometry and all that, this is just the old game with some of the community's recommendations added and bugs fixed.

Check the forums for additions please.

This version of Why-Fi's Breakout! is much better than the previous version but still pretty unfun. The differences are in the way the ball respawns instead of bouncing off of the bottom of the arena, and in how the paddle is mouse controlled. Both are good changes, but with a mouse controlled paddle, the game should probably be redesigned to operate playably in MZX speed 2 or 3.

The distance between the paddle and the ball spawn point could be more forgiving, and a longer warning before the ball begins moving would be helpful. The worst issue is still how the player has no control over the ball's trajectory. It moves in the same diagonal lines no matter what. Expect to play this a very long time if you are trying to clear all of the blocks.

One star?!?! That's less than two!! Well, trust me, this one is better than the first version. Still has a long way to go before being playable or fun though. A starting suggestion: if you're going to clone a thing and release it, clone something that isn't Pong or Breakout. Seriously, shitty games
