I was asked about adding a second player to an Arkanoid clone. The project was made in godot but needed a lot of polish. I looked around and found Noway’s tutorial using the Love game engine.
As the kids were away I spent the weekend adding two player support, full screen, and the laser powerup. Still needs a better title screen. I don’t know if I will try to get it added to Fedora or not.
You know that is an interesting question. That is what the original developer did but he has some other questionable code. As someone who is not a fan of Breakout/Arkanoid games, I don’t remember how close the paddle is to the blocks.
