Wednesday (1/8/20)

Warmup:

1. Take out a piece of paper
2. Draft the layout of one or more rows of Brick
   • Include the x-y coordinates of each Brick
   • Include the dimensions of the window, each Brick, and any gaps
   • Number each Brick from 0, 1, 2, etc. horizontally (top-most left Brick is 0)
3. Find a pattern!

Agenda:

• for-loop initialization tricks
• Two-dimensional for-loop tricks
• boolean checkWin(Brick[] bricks) method
  • What are the different ways to determine if a we have cleared all the Brick objects?
• Re-implement Brick Breaker such that it utilizes an array of Brick objects
  • Be sure to create a new sketch and do *not* to lose or overwrite your old program
  • Implement a one row of Brick in your object arrays Brick Breaker
  • Implement and demonstrate a multi-row Brick Breaker game that has winning and losing
