How To Create A Breakout Game with Box2D and Cocos2D 2.X Tutorial: Part 2

15 mins

You could extend this code to give the blocks hit points and make the ball have to hit them a number of times before they are destroyed. You could add new blocks, let the paddle shoot lasers toward the blocks, whatever you dream up!

Let me know if you have any tips or suggestions for better ways to do things, and hope this comes in handy!
