BREAKOUT Clone in C++

[matmatmat]

Attached is my clone of Breakout in C++. When the ball bounces of the side it seems to make weird movements, also the last block never gets removed.

Can anyone help with these things?

Well your problem is your assignment of x in your if clause in your draw function.



void Ball::draw(Uint32 deltaTicks){
//If the dot went too far to the left

if( x < 0 )

{

//Move back

x = BALL_WIDTH; // <-------- THIS LINE HERE
if (dir == 3){
dir = 1;
}else{
dir = 2;
}

}

//or the right

else if( x + BALL_WIDTH > SCREEN_WIDTH)

{

//Move back

x = SCREEN_WIDTH - BAT_WIDTH - 1; // <----- AND THIS ONE
....


Think about it-- if x is less than 0, and all of a sudden you set it to BALL_WIDTH, which is 20, of course it will appear to jump.
Just comment out those lines I indicated and the jumping is gone.

As for the last block not being removed-- can you be more specific? The ball hits it, but it won't disappear, or you can't hit it?

You can hit it but it won't disappear.
