Brik Editor

Brik Editor is a fan-made level editor for the Macintosh shareware game Brick Attack, allowing players to design and save their own custom puzzle sets for the breakout-style title. It is implemented in Chipmunk Basic and requires version 3.5.6 or later of that interpreter, distinguishing it from the compiled main game.

What It Does

The editor lets users lay out brick patterns level by level and export them as data files Brick Attack can load, extending the life of the base game beyond the thirty levels that ship with it. The included Readme covers file placement and the steps needed to play a custom set.

About Brick Attack

Brick Attack itself is a paddle-and-ball arcade game by Dan Zink in which the player destroys breakable bricks across thirty stages, with five accessible to unregistered users. Brik Editor was written by a different author and is not an official companion product.

Requirements

Because Brik Editor is a Chipmunk Basic script rather than a standalone application, users need to install Chipmunk Basic 3.5.6 (or newer) before launching it. The original Brick Attack application is required to actually play the resulting custom levels.
