Finally understood that my problem with Breakout was
that I have no access to game memory. Love 2d handles that
in the background. Whatever highscore registers in the game,
it stays there!! The code for Love itself is available, but that's
something else. There are also system calls that can be made, but
I'm not sure where one would do this. For now, will just scratch on
with the assignment.
All very nice to want to give the player more balls, but what is the
condition that will trigger this!?
