Easy, for every 7 numbers there is a line if you do more than 7 it will go on to another row of bircks 0 = No brick 1 = normal bricks 2 = Death bricks ( hit these in gameplay after you have hit the normal blocks you have to use a comma and an extra space like this (, ). Say if you wanted to make a row of normal blocks, put in this(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1) you don't need a comma for the last one!

If you don't understand you can ask manufan!

Ok so kind of like binary? :P Also on the last level "death" there was a glitvh which stopped me from completing it.

manufan 12 years ago

We're going to add some Bevel and Glow.

Also, you'll need three numbers:

0 = Empty
1 = Red Brick
2 = Death

For example, a row of 7 bricks is: 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 (must be spaced out with a comma like a sentence).

azz 12 years ago

I don't know how to create levels. Also do you have any better graphics? :) A red block isn't exactly aesthetic. Also I've encountered a glitch where the ball gets stuck in the paddle.

manufan 12 years ago

Oh, I removed the testers Magic, just for a bit. You'll be back! :P

@GIS: That's the admin problem.

gameinsky 12 years ago

log out/in, should help.

Magic_X 12 years ago

Haha really? Strange.... :P

gameinsky 12 years ago

it's funny because you show up as a tester to me xD

Magic_X 12 years ago

Why am I not a tester anymore? :(

manufan 12 years ago

Thanks!

Also, Version 0.1.2.7 Alpha is now out!

chris3000 12 years ago

More Updates!

Game Updates (Version 0.1.2.6 Alpha)
- Added BonusLevel.org mini banner.
- Added Button labels (Sound button).
- Added Version.

manufan 12 years ago

Lots of games probably have it now, come to think of it.

gameinsky 12 years ago

Terraria did that too.

manufan 12 years ago

Minecraft puts silly messages (as jokes) up on their splash screen.

For example, we can do it on Astro-Breaker and put "Made by a team of Monkeys!" or "As seen on TV!" These messages will change at random every game session and on a member's birthday (e.g. Mine (11th August)) it will say "Happy Birthday [member]!" for the whole day.

Treazer 12 years ago

I don't know what you mean xD

Like in minecraft "Seecret Friday Update"? Wouldn't that be unnecessary?

Edit Manu: True, but maybe we could use it as a weekly shoutout for the best level perhaps? And the Birthday system too, to make it unique?

manufan 12 years ago

No, like the one on Minecraft, that changes every session (only on splash screen):

Like the text in Yellow.

Treazer 12 years ago

Do you mean with Message of the Day the updates happend on a day? If yes, I wouldn't do it. I suggest you to use "Latest Twitter News" by feedburner. I don't know how to do it, but I think it won't be complicated.
I mean this like in: Obscurity (Play tab) or in Path 4 Mouse old.

manufan 12 years ago

Perhaps, or maybe link a Word Document at the end of the day to show progress?

Also, Treazer, what do you think about a Message of the Day? (e.g. 20% Cooler or Happy Birthday Manufan/Dynamo/Treazer/etc. !)

Treazer 12 years ago

Why not put all updates in 1, because... 3 updates in a hour?! xD

manufan 12 years ago

Three Updates!

Game Updates (Version 0.1.2.5 Alpha)
- Fixed Text Alignment!

@GIS: What do you mean by; "A message a day keeps manufan away." ?

gameinsky 12 years ago

A message/day keeps manufan away.

manufan 12 years ago

Two updates in 1 hour!

Game Updates (Version 0.1.2 Alpha)
- New Font 100% Implemented!
- Back Button Volume Changed! (2x more than before)
* Perhaps a Message of the Day? (Can we have a vote?)

azz 12 years ago

Ok then. but maybe you should make a grid shrink/enlarge option so that the game has more chance of living longer.

Treazer 12 years ago

Great news, manufan. Finally :D

manufan 12 years ago

I'm not sure, seeing as the testers now are going to be temporarily removed (except Treazer and Coolguy). Daft and Magic I asked specifically and so maybe when Alpha or Beta-testing actually begins, perhaps ask again. :)

azz 12 years ago

Could I maybe test for this game?

manufan 12 years ago

I've started now Chris! Thanks for your ongoing support!

I've got a 1 week holiday so I shall get down to business right away!

Game Updates (Version 0.1 Alpha)
- You can't die when you respawn or start anymore!
- Added the Effects to the Back button on the game frame.
- Button Text Changed.
* Testing Title Text Font.

Editor Updates (Version 0.0 Alpha)
* Under Construction

Remake in Progress

Quoting manufan from Game "Astro Breaker"

Hey everyone. (Long time no see... about 18 months)

Posting here to answer a few questions so that it's clear where this game is going, and so no question remains unanswered thanks to my inactivity (that's the aim anyway).

Why were you inactive?

SPOILER

I was inactive because I just finished my GCSE's (secondary school qualifications for those outside of the UK) and am studying for my A-Levels (college-level qualifications) in order to prepare to study Computer Science at university. The workload is harder, plus my social life is also changing so I'm finding little time to come here anymore.

Are you back?

SPOILER

Most likely no. I mean I'll come on now and again to see how things are getting on, but like I say, I'm quite busy at the moment.

So, Astro Breaker is just a dead game?

SPOILER

As you may remember me mentioning just before my inactivity, I was in the process of remaking the game using ActionScript 3.0. Astro Breaker can help me in terms of constructing a portfolio of my work in terms of progressing with Computer Science, and so I will continue to develop the remake - at least, that is my intention.

The remake will include a level editor and if it's all figured out, I will make the game BL Compatible. In terms of moderating levels, I'm sure a solution can be figured out down the line - maybe I will lead, maybe someone else will - we shall cross that bridge when we come to it.

Hope I've managed to clear everything up. Was great to come on here and see the progress that's been made, especially with the release of Simon's new game (Congrats). Best wishes to all. :)

Features

SPOILER

Bricks can be any colour dependent on Level Data (in code, so you can't really visualise this).

Types of Brick are:
- Normal (with strength stated on brick when > 1)
- Bomb (destroys all 8 bricks around it)
- Railball Powerup (ball does not rebound off bricks)
- Speed[+/-] Powerup

Any suggestions would be welcome in a PM. Any updates and I will update the link and notify you.
