    Default Breakout Game

    Breakout – more details

    (NOTE: for co-ordinates in Greenfoot the position (x=0, y=0) is the top left corner)
    · The game has a grid of bricks 11 wide and 8 deep. The colour of the rows of
    bricks varies – two rows each of yellow, green, blue and red (from front to back).
    The value of the bricks is also different for each row: see
    BreakoutWorld.POINTS, which gives the points value for each row (from the
    back to the front).

    · The ball starts in the position given by
    (BALL_INITIAL_X, BALL_INITIAL_Y).

    · The ball initially moves at 45 degrees, towards the top right corner. Each time the
    ball hits something it will bounce through 90 degrees. This is achieved by simply
    reversing the appropriate (x or y) direction. For example, the initial direction will
    be x = +1, y = h–1. On striking the right hand wall the direction will change to x =
    –1, y = –1 (i.e. x direction swaps from +1 to –1).

    · When the ball hits a brick, the brick disappears and its point value is added to the
    score

    · When the ball misses the bat and drops off the screen the player loses one of their
    3 “lives” and, if the player still has 1 or more lives, the ball returns to its initial
    position and play continues

    · The bat must get its instructions from the Controller class. This has a mode
    variable that can be set to “EXPERT” or any other value. If this variable is set to
    “EXPERT”, the controller passes back the required instructions (“left” or “right”)
    to ensure the bat always hits the ball. For any other value it simply returns either
    “left” (left arrow), “right” (right arrow) or “” (nothing) depending on what key is
    currently pressed. You must include logic to prevent the bat leaving the screen.

    · Play ends when there are no bricks left (a win) or no more lives (a loss).

    here is the zip file.

    should look like the image.

    we're not going to do your assignment for you

    work until you get stuck somewhere, then bring us a code snippet of what you're stuck on, and what it's suppose to do.
