Hello, and thank you for downloading Bustout! This a version of the classic game, Breakout, by Atari. Originally is was written as a project when I was attending technical school, using C and DJGPP for DOS. My partner in this project, Steven Calvert, rendered the original brickset using POVray, and the project went well and we both received an 'A'. About six or eight months later, I was starting to learn Visual Basic, and I wrote this version of it, played around with it, and forgot about it. Fast forward two years, a wife, and a child later, and my wife asked me to go through all my old disks and get rid of them. So in that process I found many old projects that were forgotten, and this was one of them. So here I am today, it's 16 days away from the year 2000 (tired of hearing about it already), and I am releasing this to the public as freeware. If there appears to be enough interest (read: If two or three of you email me), I update it and add features, like more bricksets, make it customizable, adding guns and things to shoot at, etc. It just depends on the reponse. Again, I hope you like it, and should you have any problems, questions, concerns, gripes, or comments, please email me at kedge@se77en.com.
