Homebrew [RELEASE] 3DS Breaköut

[Jwiz33]

Breakout/Brick Breaker sloppy clone for 3DS using LövePotion
Most of the code I had to redo, but some of the code was used from this project: https://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=80670&p=187437&hilit=pong#p187437

Features:
-Score count
-Lives
-Game over
-Breaking blocks
-Exiting to launcher

Bugs/Unimplemented Features:
-Collision errors
-No "win" system(ball keeps on going after you hit all of the blocks)
-"Get ready" and Block count/Lives are behind the blocks, so you can't read them well

Controls:
D-Pad: Move paddle left and right
A: Reset ball position(could be abused to cheat, but whatever)
START: Exit to launcher

Changelog:
V1: Initial release
V2: Exit to launcher feature added
v3: Scores, stats and "Get Ready!" message are now displayed on the top screen

Thanks to @VideahGams for LövePotion!

Download is attached!

You can exit to launcher using the love.event.quit() function.

So something like this:

function love.keypressed(key)

   if key == "start" then love.event.quit() end

end

Would quit LövePotion when the start button is pressed.
Keep up the good work though, it's nice to see more people using LövePotion!

This goes in love.update? When I tried this, I got an error.

love.keypressed is its own callback, (love.update, love.draw etc. are all callbacks) so if you put it outside of love.update it'll work

I see. Thanks for the help!

EDIT:
V2 is up which adds the ability that should've been available from the start, exiting to the launcher. Thanks @VideahGams!

Is this no longer in development? It seems like a cool project, but there hasn't been an update since October.

I can update it if you want.
I know how to make the scores on the top screen now, lol.

@Jwiz33 I can help you with the physics bugs if you want. Just let me know what exactly is wrong.

I don't remember, I haven't updated or used this in forever.

Update V3 is out(if anyone cares)!

See changelog for details.

Great
Maybe you can fix the collision with the bricks a bit (I know that it's complicated but it's also a must-have).

Any screenshots?

I'll try to get to it eventually.
