Mouse cursor visibility and retrospective look at updates

Block Breaker
A browser game made in HTML5

To be honest, I haven't got the full hang of versioning and releases yet. When I fix something, I upload it. I notice a spelling mistake, I upload it. I ought to wait for proper milestones before updating, but I'm a fledgling developer and impatient. I'll learn!

This release sees the following:

  • Mouse cursor hidden during gameplay and visible in menus
  • Refactored the level loading code to be simpler

Previously, updates have been:

  • Implementation of lives sytem (you get 3 lives per level)
  • You can now retry the level if you lost without having to go back to the very start
  • Ball correctly resets to position on top of the paddle and waits to be relaunched
  • Particle effects and sound effects
