Simple implementation of very popular game Arcanoid. Two game modes multiplayer and singleplayer allow to play with friends and break your records. Video of both modes are avaible in multiplayer singleplayer

Each user register his nickname in database. Registration is automatical, it does mean that first login stores nickname in database ( if nickname is available).

When user want to play with friends he need to join or create a room. Each room contains Game configuration (rows, columns, mode(EASY,HARD,MEDIUM)). Room may be created by every user and configured as only he wish. Lobby is a list of rooms that are open at the moment. By clicking list item player joins as a guest and contest begin. The one who first destroys all the bricks wins.

Communication is owed to the firebase. Players listening opponents score and communicating in real time in such way.

When user playing singleplayer mode he just beat next stages and local room database stores his achievements ( records ).
