OOP Assignment - Arkanoid Game

A Java implementation of the classic Arkanoid gameLevel, demonstrating core OOP principles including inheritance, polymorphism, and design patterns.

📋 Project Overview

This project is an Arkanoid-style gameLevel built from scratch using Object-Oriented Programming concepts. It features collision detection, event-driven architecture with listeners, and a complete gameLevel loop with sprite management.

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Java Development Kit (JDK) 8 or higher
• IntelliJ IDEA (recommended) or any Java IDE
• biuoop-1.4.jar library (included in libs/)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/edanBarad/OOP_Assignment.git

2. Open the project in IntelliJ IDEA
3. Build the project and resolve any dependencies

Running the Project

Run Main.java to start the gameLevel. Use the arrow keys to control the paddle and break all the blocks!

Controls:

• ← → Arrow keys to move the paddle
• Break all blocks to win
• Don't let all balls fall off the screen!

🎮 Features

• Physics-based ball movement with accurate collision detection
• Event-driven architecture using the Observer pattern (HitListener)
• Smart paddle mechanics with 5-region hit zones for ball angle control
• Score tracking system with visual indicator
• Win/Lose conditions based on blocks cleared and balls remaining
• Singleton Game class for centralized gameLevel state management

🏗️ Design Patterns Used

• Singleton: Game class for single instance management
• Observer: HitListener/HitNotifier for event handling
• Collection Management: SpriteCollection and GameEnvironment for organized object handling

⚠️ Status

Note: This project is a work in progress. Additional features and components will be added in future updates.
