Arkanoid is a classic brick–breaker game recreated using Java 25 and JavaFX, built with Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles and clean architectural design.
The project demonstrates structured game development, UI management, animation handling, and a modular system supporting upgrades, skins, and levels.

• Programming Language: Java 25
• Framework: JavaFX
• Game Type: Breakout / Brick Breaker
• Architecture: OOP-based, event-driven, modular game engine
• Core Concepts Used:
  • Encapsulation
  • Inheritance
  • Polymorphism
  • Composition
  • Basic design patterns (Factory, Singleton, Strategy applied in smaller modules)

• Smooth paddle movement with real-time collision detection
• Brick-breaking mechanics with dynamic ball physics
• Level progression with increasing difficulty

• Multiple skins for both the ball and paddle
• Purchasable using score-based currency
• Persisted across sessions

• Beneficial and harmful items dropped from bricks
• Each power-up affects:
  • Ball speed
  • Paddle size
  • Player health
  • Scoring multiplier

• Real-time sound effects (collision, item pickup, UI interactions)

• Stores player name and high scores
• Displays top 8 highest-scoring players

• ← / → – Move paddle left/right
• Space – Launch the ball
• Mouse – Navigate UI menus and buttons

The Arkanoid Project is not only a fun arcade-style game but also a solid demonstration of applying OOP principles in a real-world project.
Through this implementation, the team successfully practiced key concepts such as:

• Encapsulation
• Inheritance
• Polymorphism
• Modular code architecture
• Basic design patterns and game-loop structures

This project serves as a strong foundation for more advanced Java game development and OOP-based system design.
