Break Arcade Games Out

An open-source public-domain game, written entirely on a live stream. What if Breakout was the only arcade game people could make?

Just released a new handmade game on Steam: For Sparta! 🥳 It's a fast-paced roguelike. 🙂 I just used stb_image, stb_vorbis, stb_truetype, Win32 stuff, DX11 and 20k lines of my own code!! Really happy with the result! 😄 https://store.steampowered.com/app/1490180/For_Sparta/
