The history of Breakout is worth knowing, Steve Wozniak built the game. It was not his concept but by doing the actual hard work of implementing the game in a reduced chipset he 'made' the game and thrashed out some of the finer points of gameplay. Atari sought him out for this as Steve Wozniak had made a viable version of Pong by reducing the chip count. Although he did a splendid job of getting the chip count minimised for Breakout this design was not good for production so Atari did their own board design but the game played the same, as per Steve Wozniak's version: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakout_(video_game) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakout_(video_game) I wonder if the Steve Wozniak version has better gameplay than this JS in PDF hack? Either way it is in the same spirit, the point of Breakout is more about optimising the game to available resources - 'hacking' - than playing the game.
