Open source clone of classic arcade game Breakout, featuring brick busting gameplay with a paddle to destroy blocks at the top of the screen.
LBreakout2 is an open source game inspired by the classic Atari arcade game Breakout. Originally released in 2000, it continues to be actively developed as a clone of Breakout that runs natively across multiple platforms.
As in the original Breakout game, the player controls a paddle at the bottom of the screen using the mouse or keyboard. A ball bounces around the screen, hitting the paddle and destroying blocks at the top of the screen. The player aims to remove all blocks from the level without allowing the ball to reach the bottom of the screen.
LBreakout2 improves upon the Breakout formula with graphics rendered using OpenGL for hardware acceleration. The game features a variety of power-ups, bonuses, game modes, multiple ball control, and 104 built-in levels. It also supports user created levels and scripts for custom game rules.
The open source release allows LBreakout2 to be compiled and run on Windows, Mac, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD. Its active development community continues to improve and enhance the classic Breakout gameplay with new features and options.
