Breakout in HTML5

##About##

Breakout in HTML5 is a simple weekend project I've been developing using canvas and Box2D physics engine for Javascript.

I release only the JS source of the demo, as you can easily deploy it to a page using HTML5 Boilerplate template by Paul Irish or you can just create a page with a div id="main" in it to host the game.

##Required libraries##

• jQuery (1.5.1+)
• Box2D.js

##New features in last version##

• Countdown timer when you begin playing
• Score bubles when ball hits the bricks
• Few finetuning in ball velocity in order not to get stuck in vertical or horizontal moves

##Features##

• Uses requestAnimationFrame
• Optimized for iOS devices (although they are not recommended for gameplay as canvas in mobile Safari is pretty slow)
• User score, game over screen

##Future possible features##

• Sounds
• Leaderboards
• ???
