IB Computer Science 1
From WLCS
Contents
Monday - Wednesday (5/9/16 - 5/11/16)
- Complete the NVCC Course Evaluation survey
- Complete the CTE Student Survey
- Brickbreaker
- Draw a row of bricks w/ a for loop
- Draw multiple rows of bricks by adding another for loop
- Give each brick a random color (if you want the colors to stay the same throughout the game, then you'll need arrays)
- Brick collision detection - demonstrate the collision testing once completed for credit
- Create a new sketchbook just to develop your collision detection
- You will develop 4 different functions to check if a ball collides with the different sides of a brick
- Declare and initialize all the variables for a ball -- start your ball at the top of the screen and have it go straight downwards
- Declare and initialize brick_x, brick_y, brick_w, brick_h variables
- Declare and initialize a boolean visible variable, which is true -- this variable will remember if a brick is visible or not. If the brick is hit, then we set it to false
- Draw a rectangular brick in the middle of the screen using your variables
- Define a function named checkTop(brick_x, brick_y)
- if the ball's bottom edge (ball_y+ball_h) is greater than the brick's top edge (brick_y) AND the ball's bottom edge is still less than the brick's bottom edge (brick_y+brick_h) AND the ball's left edge (ball_x-ball_r) is less than the brick's right edge (brick_x+brick_w) AND the ball's right edge (ball_x+ball_r) is greater than the brick's left edge (brick_x)...then the ball must be hitting the top edge and you should return true
- otherwise, return false
- Go to the draw() function
- Draw and move your ball
- if visible is true, then draw the rectangle
- Check if the ball has hit the top of the brick by using an if-statement and checkTop(brick_x, brick_y)
- If the brick is hit, then set visible to false
- If you get checkTop() working, then change the starting location and direction of the ball and develop checkLeft(), checkRight(), and checkBottom()
