Additional information
UVIC CRASHER is a remake of the classic Breakout by Atari. I decided to create a singleplayer and a multiplayer mode that at first may look like they are exactly the same but they have slight differences. For example in the singleplayer mode, the ball every time it hits anything, is going to randomly change its apperance. On the other hand, the multiplayer mode since it has a smaller screen and it is harder to track the ball, the ball does not change its appearance.
To not make the game enter an infinite loop, where the player can stay in one place without moving at all. I implemented a mechanic that whenever the ball hits anything, it is going to gain speed. This is going to make the level harder the more you have progressed, plus it is going to make the player more proactive.
