Wrecking Bull by srimech
Ben is a bull for hire. He's been hired by Mr Delaunay to smash another china shop's stock. You control Ben's skateboard and have to keep Ben inside the shop.
In other words, it's a clone of Breakout. Use the arrow keys to control the skateboard (bat). The main difference is that the blocks are arbitrary polygons. The collision resolving code becomes significantly more complicated because of this. It should model a circular projectile bouncing off both vertices and edges of a polygon accurately, although there are almost certainly some glitches in the algorithm which was written in a few hours.
The sound is pretty basic, but I did smash an old plate with a hammer to record some of the effects, in case that gets me any extra points. Sound doesn't currently work in Internet Explorer, sorry.

How did you decide to break the shape into polygons? Is it a Voronoi Diagram? I like the initial hit when you smash it to pieces.
Still, I'd prefer more distance between object to crush and rocket. Currently it's too short and there's no other way to play (I think) but to shoot the bull behind object to try destroy as much as possible and to have more time to catch.
Ah, those Arkanoid times...
