In this game, you control a paddle and bounce around a ball to break bricks. Some bricks are harder to break than others and give more points, you have 3 lives.
View an example here: Brick Breaker!
You control the paddle with arrow keys, in order to play the game, copy and paste the code into your python file and run the code. Enjoy!
