In Breakout, a layer of bricks lines the top of the screen, and the player controls a paddle to repeatedly bounce a ball into the wall and destroy all the bricks. Here, I created Breakout variants by fusing it with two other famous arcade games, Snake and Tetris, to pay homage to all these iconic games. In the Snake variant, the player instead controls a snake whose body is used as a paddle to bounce the ball. In the Tetris variant, the wall of bricks keeps moving downward and becomes harder to break over time. Through these creative coding sessions, I realized that while these arcade games have very simple concepts, they still provide a lot of inspiration for designing game mechanisms that engage the players.
