Hidden Features

WINDOW RE-SIZING - The Brickles Pro window can be re-sized. When the game is not in play, just click and drag the re-size indicator at the bottom right of the window to re-size the window. (This can be really stunning if the Brickles are in MultiColor Mode when you re-size the window.)

WINDOW ZOOM - Click the standard ZOOM button in the Brickles Pro window. It can be a lot of fun to play Brickles Pro using the largest possible game area.

PANIC KEY - Brickles Pro, you might say, sets up the physics for a universe of Brickles, balls, walls, and paddles. The author can never know exactly how any game might progress...it all depends on your choices of window size, ball size, ball speeds, the patterns of the Brickles and more. If you are playing a 4-paddle game, it is possible (though, rare) the ball might get "stuck in a rut", where it bounces between a horiziontal and a vertical paddle endlessly. At this point, it might seem like there's nothing to do but lose the ball. You can usually get out of such a situation yourself with some clever ball handling, but if you want a little trick, try the Panic Key! The "Panic Key" (an upper or lower case "P") can be tried once for each ball in play. Pressing the P-key will give the ball a new random direction! (Hint: It is best to never use this capability unless absolutely needed. Experiment for best results.)
