How do you get it running?

Difficulty · easy Time to first run · 5min

Must be run from inside the actual Breakout 13 game folder so the installer can find the game's main HTML file.

The code is publicly viewable for transparency and security review, but no formal open-source license is granted, so it is not freely reusable.

So what is it?

Breakout 13 Data HUD Installer is a tool that adds a "data HUD" overlay, extra on-screen information, to a game called Breakout 13. If you play this game and want more visible stats or a progress bar while you play, this installer patches the game's files to include those JavaScript add-ons automatically. The installer first checks that it's running inside a real Breakout 13 game folder (by looking for the game's main HTML file). Then it copies two JavaScript files into the game's scripts directory, creates a backup of the original game file so you can undo the change, and injects the new script tags so the HUD loads when the game runs. It works entirely offline, nothing is downloaded, no data is sent anywhere, and the only outbound link is one you click yourself inside the HUD. The project ships three installer variants: a text-based English one, a text-based Russian one, and a graphical bilingual one that picks its language based on your Windows settings. The text-based versions show a support URL and wait for you to press Enter, the graphical one uses a standard Windows installer flow with click-through confirmation. This is aimed at Breakout 13 players who want the HUD mod but prefer a clean installer over manually editing game files. The source code is published for transparency and security review, you can see exactly what the installer does before running it, and there's even a helper script to scan built installers against VirusTotal. Note that no formal open-source license is granted, so the code is viewable but not freely reusable.
