It looks really good! Especially the multi-ball blocks. Not sure about the bug, though. Do you have a screenshot of that?

Very Nice!
maybe you caould add weapons and other powerups?

weapons? how would I do that? like a laser shot upwards from the center of the paddle? that would be cool, but game-breaking.  
something that catches the ball the next time it hits the paddle? easy, and useful.
Something that makes the paddle wider? would require a bit of work, especially the timer...

Actually having the powerups drop down from the hit block on-screen?... you're kidding, right?

EDIT: that's common? I have it actually set 1->Yv when it hits the bottom of the block. it's somehow just passing through the bottom. the zig-zagging is because I have it set so in the middle of the block, it negates Xv

Hmmm... what would the score be based on?

Idk, I haven't really played many breakout games, only the one a Blackberries.    IMO this game is good enough as it is, though. 

maybe have it create random levels?

This looks really nice! ^^

Yea, I'm not sure how else you would do it. That's how the break clones that have power ups work. A couple of power-ups I've seen are mulitball, longer paddle, shorter power, or gun(gives you a couple of shots that fire directly upwards and destroy a block on impact)

As for score, different style blocks usually give a different amount of points.

Something like 10 a hit would work nicely.

And as for powerups, it'd be cool to have features like temporarily making the ball go really fast and hit for twice as much damage. I have seen Breakout games with powerups dropping from the hit block, and that sometimes adds a lot to the game because you have to catch it...

Yes, it really does (the power-ups dropping down), but it'd be really interesting to code, I think. 10 a hit might do well. 2x damage... well that could work, but certainly not easy.

maybe have it create random levels?

Actually in one of my earlier versions (I'd say v.40) it did that. But I think for the sake of testing, one constant level works better... also the random levels were 8x8 blocks of blocks, and that lagged with only 1 ball... imagine 2 or 3

I guess that'd work... but the score counter would look like... what?

Wow that,s nice. I especially like the multi-ball support. Will there be a faster mode with fewer balls too?

I'm not sure what you mean there.  It's running at max speed as is.  If I only allowed for one ball, yes, it would run faster. Or are you saying actually make the ball move twice as fast?
