Got the game to save a high score, but it only manages to display after the first brick is broken. From what I've looked up, I think the solution to this is a singleton?

I'll look more into that tomorrow.

Basic menu done, but the high score doesn't keep its value across games. And, of course, a new issue popped up with the game declaring it's game over with one life left.

But, those will be goals for tomorrow.

Found out about custom signals to keep track of scoring.

I think the last things I need to work on for Breakout are some kind of start/game over menus, and getting the high score to actually update after each game.

Really gotta hand it to Godot's documentation, it didn't take too long to figure how to make bricks disappear after the ball collides with them.

Now, to figure out how to make the game keep track of the score and remaining lives...

Starting the next step in the #20gameschallenge by making #breakout. It's pretty nice to be able to just use scenes and scripts I made before with pong, with a few tweaks here and there.

And that's #pong done. I could stick with it and give it a start menu and stuff, but I think I want to move onto the next step in the #20gameschallenge.

Ok, I figured out how to spawn a new ball in after scoring, but now the score won't go above 1?

I guess it really is true that every time you fix a coding problem, another one pops up

It's not much, but I'm pretty proud of managing to figure out #godot enough to put together this basic version of pong. Now, onto figuring out how to spawn a new ball each time someone scores
