Get Started

Program is run through the main class, and no other classes contain main.

Resource Files

The positions of all blocks per level are stored in a resource file called Levels. The file format is simple to understand and changing the Level file allows for different games to be played.

Using the Program

• After the program starts there will be two controllers
• Player 1 can move with the left and right arrows
• Player 2 can move with the A and D keys
• Score is determined by number of blocks hit, powerups received, and by scoring goals into the other player's net.
• The winner is determined by score if the end of the game is reached, or, if 10 goals are allowed by one player, then the other player wins.

Cheat codes

• L for extra lives
• C to stay on a level after all blocks are cleared
