A polished C++ implementation of the classic Arkanoid arcade game, built with Allegro 5 for graphics, audio, and input handling. The player controls a paddle to deflect a ball into a 10x5 grid of destructible tiles, each with an HP system requiring up to 3 hits to destroy. The game features a full scoring system, a lives mechanic starting at 3 lives, and three distinct power-ups that add strategic depth to the gameplay.

Features

Destructible tile grid: 10x5 layout with per-tile HP system requiring up to 3 hits
3 power-ups: wider paddle, slow ball, and extra life — each with a 600-frame duration timer and on-screen progress bar
Particle explosion system: 24 particles per tile with gravity simulation and fade effects
Ball motion trail: 12-point trailing effect for visual polish
Screen shake: Impact-triggered camera shake on collisions
Score tracking and lives system: 3 initial lives with score persistence
Cross-platform: Runs on both Linux and Windows
