# ascii-breakout

I wrote this game in 2020 as part of my final portfolio project for AP
Computer Science Principles. I've changed a few things like then, like adding
a license and signal handling, but the core of the game is the same as when
I submitted it.
ascii-breakout is a game inspired by Atari's 1976 classic, _Breakout_.
It uses text-based graphics and can be played in a terminal.

I originally wrote this in 2020 for my final portfolio project in AP
Computer Science Principles, when I was in 11th grade. Since then, I've
sanded off a few rough edges: writing this README, refactoring,
improving documentation, etc.

## Build

To build:
```
git clone https://git.sr.ht/~smlavine/ascii-breakout
