Raquette Baballe

A modern twist on the classic Arkanoid game, crafted with C++ and Allegro.

Raquette Baballe is a game inspired by the classic brick-breaking arcade game Arkanoid. Developed in C++ using the Allegro graphics library, it adheres to the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern for clear separation of logic, rendering, and control. The project is fully open-source.
