Hi all

I'm Jay and recently published my first HMTL 5 game Christmas Breakout - Snowman Edition. Breakout is a game where you  hit a ball with a paddle and aim to destroy bricks above. The  balls trajectory changes during game play so lining up the paddle in time to strike is where the challenge is set.

I started following the MDN game dev tutorials in early 2018 as an introduction to HTML game development, and found the tutorials very useful (big thanks to Mozilla!).

So, based on the tutorials i rewrote the game using more modern JavaScript techniques, which was a great way to learn about the game loop, requestanimationframe() and collision detection. I also wanted to add a few custom features such as using HTML Local Storage for persisting current scores, high scores and levelling up. 

Overall i'm really happy to get the game finished and out in the wild for people to enjoy during the Christmas period and beyond. Id really appreciate any feedback, feature requests etc as i plan to enhance the game over time.
