Yea, I just figured that out. I'm making my own version too.

laurens, If you could reupload your version somewhere else, i keep getting a 404 error when trying to download from there, ill take a look at it. BJMiller if you want you can upload yours too and ill take a look at it, im planning in the future to be able to change the look of the game when playing.
techfreak243, i really dont know how multiplayer would really work with this game, unless you have the screen split in 2 and see who finishes first, but then everything would be way too small.
Miceylulu, Ill check it out i also noticed this when playing and it is annoying.

Heres the 'arcade' version LedZepp it also includes thumbnail for regular version..

Im using version 0.0.8 on a Zune80 and after you have deployed the ball on the first level, sometimes the left key causes the paddle to go right, untill it hits the right side of the screen, in which the left key starts working as usual. The right key seems to do its job without a problem though. Just thought you'd like to know.

Otherwise, nice job!

Love this, one of the best games so far IMO.

And i found out how to change the background and stuff so that makes it even better

[Rob848]

lol, I'm having a great time modding the graphics for this game. I made a half-life 2 themed one with an energy orb as the ball. Maybe if I can think of some other good themes I'll upload them, with LedZepp's permission.

[madkillers]

this is definitely a piece of material that i will use to entertain me durning my math teachers countless lectures

[LedZepp]

Thanks madkillers
Rob, you can post it, but post up only the images, that goes for anyone who wants to submit their own graphics.

i've changed my background image and was wonder how i can change the text color that is displayed in the bottom left corner. I changed to a dark back ground and the text is black so know i can see it... thanks

[LedZepp]

Laurens, I love the new graphics, I will use the new ones in my next version and i will include the new blocks. I was wondering if you could make a couple images for powerups, they should be circular and about the same size as the ball about 10X10 but ill take to about 15X15 i guess. There should be fire(gun), ultra(w/e you want to call it when the ball turns to green(or some color) and goes through blocks without bouncing off), paddle extend, and paddle shrink.
Also about your level editor, when it gives you the code for the level if you could change this-level#- to -level1-(since it will always be level1), and if you feel like it make it check what row the last block is on and just give code up to that line. Also if you feel like it to make it easier on people make it give this code

case #: columns=(whatever the last row number with blocks is);
break;

I would really appreciate it, again you dont have to. Thanks for your help with this game.

mediatech, open up my project click ctrl+f to open the find dialog change the "look in" menu to "Current Project" and find "Color.Black" without the quotes. Then just replace it with "Color.(whatever color you want)" without the quotes, make sure its Color with a capital "C", also so you dont mess anything else up just change the color for places where it says "batch.DrawString" and not "batch.Draw", so i guess you could jsut look for "batch.DrawString" and then look in that line to where it says "Color.Black". Hope that helps, if you need anything clarified just ask.

Looks nice Rob, once i get powerups done ill work on a theme chooser

[Rob848]

A theme chooser would be great. I've made several different themes but they just overwrite each other when I put them on the zune.

[mediatech]

Thanks for the help.

What kind of powerups are you thinking about implementing? DX Ball has always been my favorite breakout clone; it has a wide variety of good and bad powerups that you could use for inspiration.
