Breakout: a game where you control a paddle at the bottom of the screen to hit a ball upwards, and at angles, to break bricks. The goal is to break all the bricks, and not let the ball through the ground too many times.

EXAMPLE

Need an idea for a project?

What's your favorite game - arcade game, board game, sports game? Could you make a simplified, digital version of that? Could you mix it up a bit, like give it a different theme or main characters?
What are your other favorite academic fields? If you love art, could you make an art-making program? If you love history, how about an interactive timeline? If you love science, how about a scientific simulation?
What's your favorite movie or TV show? Could you make a digital version of a scene or character from it? Maybe make a game based on it?
What's a real-life gadget that you love? Could you make a simulation of it?
Special case: Pedagogical cartoon explaining programming (contact me)

example #1

The virtual pet game

Game idea: Nurture a virtual pet that has health, energy and happiness values. These values will automatically decrease as time passes, and the user will have options to increase the values one by one. If the pets values are too low it dies. Its emotions will change through time. In addition, we will have a point counter based on time, for example the longer the pet lives the more points you get. We will continue to add as many details as we can near the end to make the game more complicated.
