For ease of calculation we will also set point one as zero height.

to start this off we will break this problem down into two points: point 1 where the ball is just being thrown up and the point where the ball has maximally compressed the spring. If only a single breakable brick remains on a level and it continues to be untouched by the bouncing ball for a minute or so, an electricity sound begins to build and the brick is eventually 'zapped' away by a sudden bolt of lightning.Ī ball of 6kg is thrown up with Vo=10m/s,a spring with k=166.66667 is located 0.4 m higher,what is the dX of the spring (no Energy loss in the collosion)ĭX you are referring to change in position I assume. Some good power-ups include the Zap Brick which reveals the hidden bricks and also makes the unbreakable bricks breakable, the grab paddle, which is able to catch the ball and aim it at any brick that you want to hit, and also the Extra Life, whose powers give you an extra life at the cost of most of your power-ups, and Level Warp, which lets you advance to the next level. The Ball also gradually picks up speed as the game continues. For example, if you were to get the fast ball power-up. There are 18 power-ups, four of them being either good or bad. Certain powerups have positive effects, while others have negative, making it important to try to collect the beneficial powerups while avoiding the detrimental powerups. When you hit a brick, there is a chance that a powerup will float downwards towards the paddle, and can be picked up by touching it with the paddle. Unlike Breakout, however, is the inclusion of powerups other than extra balls. Hitting all the blocks results in completing the level and going to the next. The game is basically a Breakout clone: you bounce a ball off a paddle at the bottom hitting different color blocks on the top of the screen.

A level editor was made available as well. It became a massive cult classic in the Windows freeware gaming community during the late 1990s. The game, an updated version of an earlier series of Amiga games known as Megaball, is patterned after classic ball-and-paddle arcade games such as Breakout and Arkanoid. DX-Ball is a freeware computer game for the PC first released in 1996 by Michael P.
