A GPL SDL implementation of the classic game Arkanoid, in which a ball bounces on a map that has a number of bricks. As the ball hits bricks, they are removed from the map. If a balll eaves the bottom of the screen, the ball is lost, and the player looses a life. To avoid this, the player can control a paddle on which the ball bounces. Each time a brick is removed, the player is awarded points. The aim of the game is to score the most point. Yanoid has been designed to be extensible and flexible, allowing the game to be extended in novel ways. It is currently quite playable and enjoyable. While the main engine is written in C++, Yanoid uses python scripts to create maps, objects, etc.
