Powernoid V1 - Art 2008!


Hi Guys,
This is a Breakout/Arkanoid clone with powerup features.
Powernoid is coded from scratch, and the program itself is entirely my original work,
with the exception of the Intrafont library by BenHur used for printing text to the screen,
and sounds that were scavenged from various free sources on the internet,
and processed with a wave editor.

The idea is to destroy all bricks on each level by hitting the ball toward them.
As ythe player progresses through the levels, some powerups are available to make this job easier.

Powerups remain active as progression through stages occurs, but are reset when a life is lost.

The player begins the game with three lives, each of which can be lost when a ball is missed.
The game is over when all three lives are lost.

Powernoid was tested with 3.52 M33 firmware, but is expected to work with any homebrew firmware.


Controls are simle.
Move the bat left or right with either the analogue stick or the D pad.
You can pause the game and see the score at any time by pressing the HOME button.
This actually pauses the game for a little even after you select "No" and return to the game.


Cheers, Art.
