🎮 Brick Breaker Game

A classic Brick Breaker game built in Java using Swing and AWT. The game features paddle-ball mechanics, brick collision detection, a scoring system, and win/lose states — all developed without external libraries.

📖 About

This project recreates the popular arcade-style Brick Breaker (similar to Atari Breakout). The player controls a paddle to bounce a ball and break all the bricks on the screen. The game ends when:

✅ All bricks are destroyed → You Win!

❌ The ball misses the paddle → Game Over

It’s a beginner-friendly project that demonstrates Java OOP concepts, GUI programming with Swing, event handling, and basic game logic.

✨ Features

Paddle and ball movement with keyboard controls

Brick collision detection and scoring system

Winning and Game Over states

Responsive paddle control with arrow keys

Modular code (Brick, BrickBreaker, MapGenerator classes)

No external libraries — built purely with Java, Swing, and AWT

🛠️ Technologies Used

Java (Core + OOP)

Java Swing – for GUI components (JFrame, JPanel, Timer)

Java AWT – for graphics, rendering, and event handling

🚀 How to Run

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/SagarXdev23/Brick_Breaker-Java-Game

Open the project in your IDE (Eclipse, IntelliJ, VS Code with Java extension).

Compile and run Brick.java (contains the main method).
