Beta – Working Title

Pocket Ball is a casual game where the aim is to put the ball in the pocket with a limited number of shots. Every round there is another ball, meaning that the game gets harder and harder as the game progresses. To combat the increased difficulty a range of ‘powerups’ become available throughout the game.

Powerup Information

Powerups are chosen in the following way. Every second iterate through all powerups and;

If the powerup is valid for the current level then generate a random number between 1 and 1000.
If the random number is lower than the odds for that particular powerup choose a random ball.
If that ball is still in play then set the ball as the chosen powerup. This means that as a level is played the chances of a powerup become smaller and smaller.
