Journal Entry 5

Activity: 

I made modifications to the Breakout project to make it more juicy:

- Breaks are set with a random color. They also fall down to its place with random delay.

- There are special bricks (with different scaling). When the ball hits such a brick, the camera shakes and the paddle starts moving in a different direction (if the palyer moves the mouse to the right, the paddle goes to the left and vice versa)

- When the ball hits a brick, its "ghost" falls down.

Notes:

I've learned that even a simple game can become more interesting and engaging wihen approached with juiciness.

Invested hours: 2,5 hours
