I'd legitimately lose a few hours playing this. It's so neat seeing random experiments and concepts being applied to create a cool looking game.

[@ferred3056]

What is the game's name?

3:20 That's actually a pretty good illustration of self-sustaining fission reactions.

Nice one 👍☺️☺️

[@ahmedsaliherel]

İt would be better if he did this with flying bomb blocks.

[@Stefanutsu]

I'm absolutely stunned everytime you upload. The presentation and the code give an amazing sense of quality, its as if my endgoal as a programmer would be reaching something like your level.

[@shanewalsch]

You can add a heavy one, which goes through many objjects on the way without bouncing from them

[@PezzzasWork]

That's a good idea!

[@nicoleibundgut534]

though about this aswell just playing around with the mass of some balls

[@KevinCrouch0]

It's tough to tell which parts are "dead" blocks or rubble and which blocks still need to get hit to clear the level. Maybe the "dead" block chunks go more black/lose colors to show they don't matter any more

[@GamingBlarg]

This is the kinda stuff I love about making games, getting a dope concept and then running with it till you have a addicting game on your hands I made an asteroids clone a couple years back and my favourite thing after I got the basics down was adding all the fun shit like the UFOs and powerups

[@mysterylink7550]

Did you ever play Inner Space on win 95? Awesome game from my childhood I need to find again ....

[@Cloruro]

Reactor 4 be like 3:21

[@Hotbody]

Exactly my thoughts 😆

[@TodePond]

Niiiice! It's so satisfying to see how it built up piece by piece! 🤩

[@dairop3220]

Tes projets dont toujours aussi stylés, tu m'impressionne à chaque fois srx ! Continue comme ça !

[@csh0vel]

Interesting and awesome as always! I love your work, man!

[@redshepard5306]

Awesome work. Adding a bit of momentum to balls thrown from the explosions would make them feel stronger and would make the explosive ball powerup more chaotic. I love the upside down gravity part. Making the bricks look like upside down buildings would make a great phone game. Like an alien invasion version of brick break just make the paddle a saucer.

[@frogman1]

the sound effects are so natural, i love it.

[@alienmoonstalker]

This is very satisfying. Thank you.

[@bloodkiller-zg3jc]

Thank you! you too :)

No kidding, I checked this vid out in preview and watched the whole thing there lmao

[@Destroy3612]

Truly a brick breaker game, awesome!

[@tomsterbg8130]

I love the effort put into making this work with most of the exclusive cases! You sure put a good amount of effort in it and after all that's a game you can freely monetize! I wouldn't suggest as it's barely got a gameplay, but it's very fun still and I'm imagining it's around 1000 - 2000 lines of code too. A few ideas you could try are adding platform size shrink and enlarge blocks as well as some spiked ball that goes more easily through debree. Adding a row of bricks randomly chosen every few seconds and if a brick falls down it's game over as well as when losing a ball. You can play infinite gamemode without winning condition or a gamemode that goes on stages with progressive difficulty and has winning condition. A scoring system when breaking bricks and possibly when losing balls, a life system if you want to give the player more forgiveness when they lose and a roguelite gamemode with permanent upgrades such as more lifes, a slider that can set the speed of balls (level 1 is 0.9-1.1x speed, level 2 0.8-1.2x like that), pause, better explosions, more damage from a ball, balls curve towards your cursor, you can make balls go more easily through blocks or reduce block health, add stronger blocks. There's a thousand things you can do!

[@win95beta5]

Yeah monetize it, what an unique idea, and half of the world including me cant play it, creator surely couldnt think of that

@@win95beta5 life outside the computer still requires you to pay for things. You pay for food, shelter, transportation, even work requires you to “pay” for money with your time and effort. How does paying for a game mean half the world can’t play it?

you don’t understand how much i look forward to these videos

Impressive work!!

[@davidwagner6116]

This reminds me of good times making level sets for LBreakout2. The effects from the soft-body physics are really fun!

[@JacobPernell]

I recently started learning a little bit of C++ and OpenGL and now I’m inspired to eventually try making a basic prototype of something like this :D Thanks for sharing your work with us!

[@trimsky8543]

You are just a master of math and c++! So cool! Very interesting

[@mrtronbl]

Amazing work.

[@NerdyWordyMatt]

Hell, yeah! I'd play the heck out of that.

[@noms1711]

I have a fascination for destruction and this is amasing keep it up!

[@natejack2292]

I'm a physics major and I've just begun coding some games back in January. I first made pong, then decided to make a brick breaker. I've been working on it for months, learning as I go, and this is amazing and inspiring

[@nyuh]

the gameplay is so chaotic i love it

[@Katniss218]

this is really cool

[@khanoaoas7269]

Mon gars t'es trop chaud, je kifferai être capable de coder avec une qualité similaire a la celle que tu tiens dans tes projets. Continue à nous inoressioner!

[@jhwblender]

Oh wow! If you turned this into a mobile game I'd download this in a heartbeat. Great job! So so cool.

[@rodakdev]

That chicken has cool glasses for a reason!

[@Rumplestiltzchen]

m8 you can't just show off something this cool and epic and then put "Executable demo soon." and then leave us hanging for half a year. I need this in my life

[@KaziiTheAvali_inactive]

it is very very nice. i would suggest randomly rotating the explosion effects to make it look less semetrical

This is incredible. How did you learn all of this? Do you have any resources or paths you recommend?

[@cannonmann]

With some themed stages for the gravity effects and pretty backgrounds I'd buy this on steam.

[@Fummy007]

Looks like fun

[@BattleMachines]

Awesome

[@LJ_Dude]

A wonderful spin on a classic game. How soon will that executable demo be?

[@dwhorlow8397]

What are the specs of the pc you're running this with?

[@krccmsitp2884]

This looks great and like a lot of fun! Is there actually a working game?

[@dragonminz602]

That looks like a ton of fun! Is it possible to play it somewhere?

[@amber.mp4]

another one i would love to play

[@petraviolabeck9157]

You should add the unbreakable blocks as well. Would make things even more interesting.

[@MrCombokey]

Which programming language and graphic/game libraries did you use? Btw. Great work!

[@TDGalea]

I would pay money for this. I can see this as a perfect thing for on-the-go gaming for Android/iOS in a vertical orientation. Maybe with some extras (don't ask me, I unfortunately don't dev games) it could fit the likes of Steam too.

[@Migixkem]

Can u tell me how you learned all of this stuff. How, Where and why, I'm just very interested in your background because this is pretty cool

[@echoptic775]

Can u explain a little more about it? Where did u learn that, link to some article myb?

[@nou5440]

nice

[@swift_goose]

This is awesome! You did all of this in C++? Very well presented video as well

[@PezzzasWork]

Thank you very much! Yes it is 100% c++

[@haunty5537]

Now could u make one at a larger scale with special blocks randomly placed and seperated at different intervals depending on how close it to the bottom?

[@cobaltxii]

this is amazing. i know how to make the verlet physics engine but can you post some resources explaining how the “parts” algorithm works? i can only think of one way (flood fill) but it seems slow so any pointers would be appreciated :)

[@taktoa1]

You could use a union-find data structure: iterating over all blocks B and all neighbors N of B, union N with B. Then calling find on some block will give the part it belongs to.

[@leodenham1710]

At 1:39 what is the "parts detection algorithm" you have used?

[@aerofur]

IMO there should be strobe colored text when a powerup is used (that isn’t the extra ball text) that tells you what happened Good looking game overall!

[@disel8599]

Hi, how did you learn all these things about physics and how did you integrate them into the code? Where did you learn to code?

[@nautilume7114]

Don’t mind me I’m here for the notif if this gets a reply

Hi! It took me quite a long time to be honest. This video was a great help www.gdcvault.com/play/1020603/Physics-for-Game-Programmers-Understanding The channel of Matthias Müller is also pure gold if you want to learn to physics for programming kzbin.info

Hi @Pezzza's Work, have you ever thought about making a "Lamers" game dev SKD. things like the old school S.E.U.C.K on Atari ST/Amiga (depending on age here) Simple point n click game dev for low level programmers/kids game dev etc... your routines work Just a thought, awesome codebase.

Not sure about this specifically but his ants simulations he’s used C++ with SFML for graphics and input
