# RCWeb Breakout Controller

**Breakout Control** is the phone controller for the shared-screen `/breakout/` game.

## How to join

Open this controller from the QR code on the Breakout display, or go to `/breakout-c/?r=<room>` using the same room code as the main screen. The controller joins automatically and uses the player name saved in `localStorage.rcwebName`.

Once connected, the main screen assigns you a color. Your phone shows your current score, level, drop count, and status.

## Controls

Move the slider left or right to move your bottom batten on the shared screen. The slider behaves like an analog control, so small movements are useful for lining up precise rebounds.

Tap **Launch** to serve your ball. You can use it when you first join and after your ball drops below the batten.

## How to score

Your score increases when your ball hits and breaks bricks. Some later-level bricks need more than one hit. If your ball drops, it comes back automatically, but your drop count increases.

## Tips

Watch your colored ball on the main display, not just the phone. Use the phone as a touch controller and aim by moving the batten just before the ball lands.
