You have an interesting idea going on here. I'm not sure if it has much sales potential as it is now, but I think you should definitely keep developing it forward as there are many possible features to add to this program as it's nowhere near its limits yet.
If you want to make software that sells, it has to look good and professional.
- Maybe you could try to search for a graphics designer who could spice up the general look of the program and make it more appealing. Things like backgrounds, logos and general layout can make miracles.
Maybe I was just too lazy to read all the info and watch the videos but
- Can you build up a game with many levels so that the user can create one game consisting of multiple levels which will be loaded automatically after the previous level has been completed?
When placing the blocks to the gamefield, I assume many would like to have them in a neat "grid", one right after another.
- Perhaps you could make some sort of a grid system into the editor so that the blocks could only be placed in given cells...or maybe not, it's good to have flexibility I guess.
It seems you have covered the very basic features of a bat & ball game; ball movement, bouncing and blockbreaking. How about things like time, timelimits, speed of the ball, speed of the bat, power ups etc. Endless possibilities! Your editor could have e.g. a tick box for timelimit option and an edit box for the amount of time. If the tickbox is checked, the level will be saved as a timelimit level with the given time. Then the game identifies the level type and displays "time left" information. Another level type might be where the speed of the ball increases after time goes by. Or the vertical location of the bat get closer to the blocks. So
- Think of adding some new stuff into it after you have released the first version

Yes thankyou, apparently you didnt watch the vid  The bat already has some customizable speed.
Your ideas sound like a good idea, i will soon integrate ball speed and about the, one level after another i was going to integrate that into the player but i just needed a player ready when i was going to start sales. now that i have extra time, setting up paypal, i might add it, the player would name it
??????1 after the user wins this it would automatically load the
??????2 simple.
err a grid, got any nice tutorials on that?
I thought it also would be nice for a snap to grid feature.
powerups, yes i thought of that but still havent thought of a good system.
Time limit would be fairly easy, i may add that tomorrow.
Know any good graphics designers? I would pay like 10% of profits until a certain value has been reached.
ie. 10% on profits until the designer had made idk $50
Thanks for the comment i really apreciate it.  no really i do.
Just remember im a team of one ( need members)
