The objective is to break through all the blocks, hence the name Atari breakout. I think that some point in the  book Wayde might have to break through blocks like the ones in Atari Breakout to get something. ]]> 2018-11-21 13:29:04 UTC https://padlet.com/whittle1/bbx7gwonfy7c/wish/306727541 abigail_duncan10 https://padlet.com/whittle1/bbx7gwonfy7c/wish/306727609 Popular songs in the 80's were classics like
