I've put together a simple breakout demo.

I've made it all integer and rectangle based because I wanted the overhead free to do some visual tracking stuff and maybe move the bricks around during the game.

The only issues so far are the corner collisions. But I need to set up a neighbouring check system so that corners are ignored in collision tests when bricks are flush to one another.
