BlockBlaster is a classic breakout-style game built using Raylib. The objective is to break all the blocks by bouncing a ball with a paddle. This project demonstrates the use of graphics libraries in C to create a fun and interactive game.
- Classic breakout gameplay
- Simple and intuitive controls
- Graphics powered by Raylib
- C Compiler (GCC, Clang, or MSVC)
- CMake (4.3+)
- Git (needed to fetch Raylib during the build)
Raylib itself does not need to be installed manually — CMake fetches and builds it from source automatically as part of the build process.
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/BlockBlaster.git
cd BlockBlaster- Configure and build with CMake:
cmake -B build
cmake --build buildThe first build will take a few minutes, since it downloads and compiles Raylib from source. Subsequent builds are much faster.
- Run the executable:
Linux/macOS:
./build/BlockBlasterWindows:
.\build\Debug\BlockBlaster.exeNote: This game is not release-ready yet — expect bugs and incomplete features.
- Use the left and right arrow keys to move the paddle.
- Break all the blocks by bouncing the ball with the paddle.
- Try not to let the ball fall off the bottom of the screen!
