Hey guys, what can I do to make this game more interesting? And how do I do it? Any ideas? Thanks!

float posx = width;
float posy = height;
float velx = 5;
float vely = 2;
float baseh = 10;
float basew = 90;
int pont = 0;
int nivel = 1;

void setup() {
  size(800, 600);
  background(206, 234, 211);
}

void draw() {
  background(167, 167, 167);
  noStroke();
  posx += velx;
  posy += vely;
  fill(206, 234, 211);
  ellipse(posx, posy, 30, 30);
  fill(62, 62, 62);
  rect(mouseX, height-baseh, basew, baseh);
  textSize(15);
 textAlign(CENTER);
  fill(255);
  //text("jogos: " + score, width/2, height/4);
  fill(255);
  // text("NÍVEL " + nivel + "/3", width/2, height/2);


  if (posx>=width) {
    velx = -velx;

  } else if (posx<=0) {
    velx = +-velx;


  } else if (posy>=(height)-baseh && posx>=mouseX &&
    posx<mouseX + basew) {
    vely = -vely;

  } 

  else if (posy>=height) {
    posx = width/2;
    posy = height/2;
    pont += 5;
    velx = 5;
    vely = 2;
    nivel = 1;

  }

  else if (posy<=0) {
    vely = +-vely * 2;
  }

  if (vely>=8) {

    nivel = 2;
  } 

  else if (vely>=10) {
    nivel = 3;
  }
}

You could place bricks in the upper half that get destroyed

Look up Arkanoid in Wikipedia

And removing bricks could reveal an image of an attractive person beneath them! ;-)

Or some bricks could drop power-ups that change the game mechanics.

Chrisir

Yeah, or some are permanent so bricks behind it are harder to hit

Different colors for bricks

Moving bricks

Different levels with different forms of bricks

TfGuy44

Bricks that take more than a single hit.

Bricks of different sizes.

More than one ball.

More than one paddle.

Add some jazzy music and sound effects.

Revamp your graphics.

Hiscores table.

PvP mode.

Online multiplayer.

Chrisir

The ball hits the brick, gets reflected properly and after that the brick dissapears

Ball can get reflected on the sides and top of a brick as well, so make sure you leave space between upper screen border and bricks

Chrisir

Look at tutorial objects and make a class Brick and an ArrayList of it

Fill the ArrayList with a double nested for loop

rockie

well guys, thank you :D

Chrisir

So, what did you do with it?

Chrisir

ArrayList<Brick> bricks = new ArrayList(); 

void setup() {

  size(1000, 800);
  background(0);

  initBricks();
}//func 

void draw() {

  background(0);

  for (Brick currentBrick : bricks) { 
    currentBrick.display();
  } // for
}//func

void initBricks() {

  // size of one brick
  float w = 60; 
  float h = 20; 

  // how many bricks do we have Horizontally 
  int numberHorizontally = 10; 
  int numberVertically = 3; 

  // how much space is not covered by the bricks Horizontally (in pixels)
  float spaceHorizontally = width - (w*numberHorizontally); 
  // half of which we add on the left so the bricks are centered
  float offsetX= spaceHorizontally/2;

  // ...and what we add at the top to have a space from the top of the screen
  float offsetY= 100;

  for (int x = 0; x<numberHorizontally; x++) { 
    for (int y= 0; y<numberVertically; y++) {
      // Using "if" to give it a small variation
      if (x!=y) {
        Brick newBrick=new Brick(x*w+offsetX, y*h+offsetY, w, h);
        bricks.add(newBrick);
      }//if
