Howdy!
This week has been a bit slower on the project progress front. Partly due to the apparent difficulty of implementing a Game Over screen for our Breakout clone, but also because of all the fun distractions this week.

I finally got to go out to a movie theater again to see Dune! I haven’t quite made my way through the first book yet, but I definitely enjoyed that movie. Then, today actually, we were also graced with the 4th entry in the Age of Empires series, which has a special place in my heart. My girlfriend and I have also picked up this cute little fishing game, Moonglow Bay. It’s fun, relaxing, and has a sort of Stardew Valley vibe to it.

Back on the subject of the project, we are very nearly done with the complete functional Breakout game itself. By the end of this weekend, I’ll have the win and lose screens implemented, which should technically complete the single player portion of the game! I really appreciate the talent and work ethic of my team. Communication is super fluid through Discord and our Sunday meetings, and it feels like we’re all contributing well to this fun capstone.
