PowerBall (M365 PowerApp)

Instructions

Welcome to PowerBall, a game created with PowerApps for the Microsoft 365 environment.

Drag the joystick at the bottom of the screen to move the ball left and right to fall through the gaps in the ever advancing platforms. 

The game is over either when you are pushed off the top of the screen or fall into the abyss at the bottom.

Impress your friends and colleagues and try to get the best score!

    PowerBall   - A PowerApps game created by "Mr Amoeba" aka Andy H @ HEWCO
    (C) 2022    - Would love to see any improvements and changes but please retain credits
                - I would also love to know if there are better ways to implement anything in the PowerApp.
                  This implementation is the result of 2-3 hours of experimentation to see "what if".
    Getting Started
    ---------------
    App.OnStart (you are here) - set up some initial variables
    GameScreen.OnVisible - calls ResetGameButton that sets up a new game
        GameTimer.OnTimerEnd - while gameRunning is true, processes the game events. runs every 30th of a second
        ResetGameButton.OnSelect - sets up all starting variables for a new game and positions the platforms
        JoystickSlider.OnSelect - starts up a new game (calling ResetGameButton) if gameRunning is false
