Version: 0.9.5 (using KDE 4.0.83) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux It would be nice if the game supported (or had, if it does) multiple levelsets. The same levels over and over can be a bit dull. I don't know if it fits the rules of the game, but if it does, could it remember the highest level you're reached, so you can return later? Just my two cents - Thanks!
I plan to add support for multiple levelsets in the next version, most of the code is there already, only the user interface needs to be added. Remembering the highest level goes a bit against the idea of the game, so this isn't planned.
"Remembering the highest level goes a bit against the idea of the game, so this isn't planned." I love breakout and I often play it, usually as a quick distraction. I'd really like to be able to jump to the last level I got to when I start up; after not very long I get tired of fighting my way through the first 10 levels just to get to 11. Sometimes I play to get a high score but most of the time I just want to have fun with it and the higher levels (that I know are there but sometimes can't reach) are more fun than the lower ones.
Apparently, cheats for skipping levels and adding lives are available in debug mode. Launch the game with KDE_DEBUG=true kbreakout then press 's' to skip a level, 'l' to add another life. Michael
The debugging/cheat codes were left out of the QtQuick/QML port, so have not been working since version 4.9.90. I have two patches to restore them: * For version 15.04.1 and current development master, I uploaded a patch to ReviewBoard last week. See https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/123950/diff/1/ * For version 4.13.1, which is part of Debian Jessie, I posted a patch on the debian-devel-games mailing list. See https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-games/2015/06/msg00000.html Enjoy! Peter
