Breaking Bricks

It's 'Breakout'.

this is based on the Gameboy variant 'Alleyway' (which I played a lot as a kid 😄)

Move the paddle with the arrow keys or [A] and [D]

Launch the ball with [Space]

[Esc] pauses the game and brings up the pause menu

also, I added a "ball reset" functionality. If the ball doesn't collide with either a brick or the paddle for more than 5 seconds, press [R] to reset the ball to the paddle. No life lost when doing this. An icon will show in the lower right corner to indicate when this function is active.
