Here are the major differences versus Version 0.1:

Game Notes

Version 0.2 Notes

I have added several features to this release including:

  1. Mouse Control of paddle Left and Right
  2. Mouse Control - Left Click (strictly pygame’s button1) to launch the ball
  3. Mouse Control - Right Click or Middle Click (strictly pygame’s button2 or button3) to use next life
  4. Improved ball redirection based on where it hits the paddle, if the ball hits the left 10px of the paddle it is redirected up and left, middle 20 px it is reflected, right 10 px it is always reflected up and right. This improves directional control of ball.
  5. Sound Effects - for bouncing off gameboard walls, destroying blocks, bouncing off paddle, bouncing off indestructible blocks, and when you get extra lives
  6. Reset speed to 1 ( rather slow ) when you advance to next level instead of leaving it at whatever speed you passed the previous level at.

Thanks to Peter Nosgoth for trying the game out and giving me some pointers on how to improve it on the Pygame page

Check it out, and let me know what you think!
