Brechen: a Breakout clone for Dreamcast.

This forum is for discussion pertaining to homebrew and indie software for the Dreamcast, such as homebrew games, emulators/interpreters, and other homebrew software/applications. Porting requests and developmental ideas are not to be made here; you can make those here. If you need any help burning discs for homebrew software, this is the place to ask as well.

Brechen: a Breakout clone for Dreamcast.

Post by Guts »

Hi folks, I decided to take part in the One Game a Month challenge, and as my January game I made a simple Breakout clone for the Dreamcast.

You can download ready to burn disc images, a level editor, or even the entire source code for the project here: https://bitbucket.org/Guts/brechen/

Granted, it's nothing incredible, and the code is pretty bad, but I'm following the advice of Jeff Atwood on How To Stop Sucking And Be Awesome Instead.

Even if the code is used as an example of what *not* to do, it will have proved useful :wink:

Actually, it's a testament to how good the available libraries are (all of KallistioOS, and libtsunami in particular for all the higher-level game stuff) that even a guy like me who's never really finished a game before, and doesn't really know what he's doing, could put something out in a month.

Merci and gracias to you both :)

Some time in the next week or so I'll have a blog post explaining what it was like to make the game.
