here's my new entry to the 20 line challenge,
inspired by my work on 'the coding challenges' thread.

CIRCULAR BREAKOUT
in DBPro

please see 8th post code snippet for no-bug improved version



` GAMEPLAY:
` destroy the boxes swarming around you.
` keep the bouncing ball from hitting your 'inner sphere' by
` moving your 'shield' cube to knock it away.

` CONTROLS:
` left / right arrow keys to rotate your shield
` spacebar to fire the ball when you're holding it

` FEATURES:
` progressively harder levels
` timer-based movement
` psychedelic 3D graphics
` program creates its own media
` adheres to the rules of the 20 line challenge

object alerady exist at ilne 6 error after several minutes of playing, several hundred levels in, several million points, i forgot to get a screenshot of my score too lol, great adictive game but very easy once you've developed a stratedy, a good 20 liner though. i had about 15 lives left too. if you get them all really close to you and release and stay still you can take them all out in one rotation of the cubes.

LOL!!!

REALLY FUN GAME!!!!
i was bored and played the game in a while.. Made it up on over 200000 and got over 50 lifes! The only strange thing was.. Suddenly i got and error that said "Object already exist" :-(

And i was planning to take a screenshot of my highscore

the last levels before the error the color on all the things in the game was white! And the cubes moved soo fast that it was easy to proceed since the ball took em' out quick

eddie that's pretty lame, you giving it the attention it's worth lol.
mine was well over 100000 i'm sure.

edit once you get to over 200000 points it crashes with the error previously stated
beat that eddieb (good luck since it crashes lol) only took about 5 mins and i had 19 lives left.

over about 50 it gets really easy, just release the bal and you've completed the level:
