Brick Breaker Game

Overview
This project is a complete implementation of the classic Brick Breaker arcade game, built entirely from scratch using fundamental web technologies: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It's a single-file web application designed to be simple, portable, and easy to run in any modern web browser.

Features
Classic Gameplay: Control a paddle to bounce a ball and destroy all the bricks on the screen.

Score & Lives System: Keep track of your score as you break bricks and manage your three lives.

Responsive Controls: Smooth paddle movement controlled by mouse or touch gestures.

Win/Loss Conditions: The game ends with a "You Win!" or "Game Over" message.

Retro Aesthetics: Styled with a retro, pixel-art-inspired font and a vibrant, neon color scheme.

No Dependencies: Built with pure JavaScript (no game engines or external libraries were used for the core logic).

Technologies Used
This game was developed using only the core building blocks of the web:

HTML: For the basic structure of the game, including the canvas and UI elements.

CSS: For all styling, layout, and retro-inspired visuals.

JavaScript (ES6+): For all game logic, including rendering, physics, collision detection, and state management.

The entire application is self-contained in a single HTML file for simplicity, with the CSS and JavaScript embedded directly.

How to Play
Open the brick_breaker.html file in any web browser.

Click the "Start Game" button.

Move your mouse left and right (or use your finger on a touch device) to control the paddle at the bottom of the screen.

Your objective is to break all the bricks by hitting them with the ball.

If you miss the ball and it goes past your paddle, you will lose a life. The game is over when you run out of lives.

This project demonstrates a solid understanding of front-end web development fundamentals and DOM manipulation to create an interactive experience.
