Infinite Block Breaker Game - Simulation Nodes Tutorial
Check out my new procedural modelling bundle: https://www.nodegroup.xyz/procedural-...
In this session we're having a look at the self-playing block breaker / pong game people have been making on Twitter recently but reimagining it in simulation nodes for Blender 4.X.
You can definitely push this further, for example you might solve the colision position to prevent multiple collisions in the same bounce, you might add multiple balls on each side, change the shape of the playing field, or even make it 3D! So much to play with, so little time.
