Wiibreaker is a simple brickbreaker because it came to my attention that there were no brickbreaker games out for Wii homebrew. Thus, I have created WiiBreaker.
It has three modes.
Once the ball falls below the screen 3 times, you lose.

User Generated Backgrounds
Since the 0.3 release, players have been able to enable backgrounds as they play. However, I think the game is best played with a background you made.
Heres how to make and use your own:
Make a .png image with the dimensions 640x480
Save it as either background1.png, background2.png, or background3.png.
Put the image into the data folder in the WiiBreaker folder.
Make sure you get rid of or change the name of the existing image you are replacing.
How to use someone elses backgrounds
If you want to use someone elses backgrounds put them into the data folder in the WiiBreaker folder, making sure to replace the existing background images with them.
Its that easy everyone.

Level Editor
Making your own levels with the level editor will save them as the file pattern1.pattern Feel free to distribute them to your friends for them to play.
NOTE: You can only have one pattern file (named pattern1.pattern) in your data folder at a time. Future releases may increase the available number of pattern files.
Design Document
I have included a design document in the .zip just for fun. It has everything that I would like to be included in the final release.
