Building works fine for me, game works fine. Of course, if there's already a similar breakout game that works just as well in repos, this is not important, but I couldn't find one.
Irrelevant Background Story
A while ago in the meta package thread someone mentioned they might enjoy a breakout game.
I'm very old school when it comes to games. I would play Tetris if it were here. Maybe once a year I drag out my NES or SNES to play something. Maybe a Breakout or Arkanoid game. So after quick repo search found and tried lbreakout2 and seemed ok. I set it up for my kids and they like it, but its forced 640x480 and crashes sometimes on one pc when made fullscreen on widescreen monitor (although not on another...), but always works fine in a (non-resizable 640x480) window. Long story short, I learned all this was fixed years ago with resizable windows and widescreen support, just never made it into debian/ubuntu for some reason, but still being maintained upstream by author, last version from Sun 08 Aug 2021.

I remember playing Breakout at the arcade. Then got it for the Atari. All of this in 1979-1980 when I was a kid. I was able to get LBreakout2 in the repos but like you said, it does not get to full screen and it's not as fun that way. LBreakoutHD is really good. If you can figure out how to install haha. Several lib dependencies were missing and having to ./configure and make install gave me glimpses of what it will be like to install Linux From Scratch  Thanks for the links.

Could you please test the deb file I created for this game in the bl6testing repo? Uninstall the app if you installed via compilation first and then download the deb file and install. packages.bodhilinux.com/bodhi/pool/b6testing/l/lbreakouthd/If this is suitable and all works as expected I will add it to the BL6 and BL5 main repos and see if I can build it for the debian Bullseye repo.

Thanks for the feedback. I have added the package to the main repos for BL5, BL6, and Bodhi's 32-bit Bullseye repo.
