I hope you guys know that game, Arkanoid. I’m not sure you call it the same, so just to make be sure, it’s that game where you have a bar which you use to destroy bricks with a ball. Best description I can make.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if they know a simple way to know which side of the brick the balls hits. I’m having a hard time figuring that out ☹

couldn’t you just do a check to see if the Y value of the ball is greater than the Y value of the block?
and I think here its called Super Breakout…

that would probably be too much work. There are easier ways…

Thanks guys 🙂
Jubs \>\> The problem is that it can hit the side of the brick.
guig0 \>\> Good idea, but I don’t like wasting ressource. Can you think of a way to have only 1 hitTest per brick?
