I'm getting a bug where recoverPoints resets to 5000 everytime I die.

breakout/breakout13/src/states/PlayState.lua

Line 32 in d9b65b9

self.recoverPoints = 5000

[geralddzx]

I think this should be. self.recoverPoints = params.recoverPoints

I agree with you @geralddzx I figured out the same and that is the way I fixed as well.

You need to have an initial value of some sort otherwise you can never recover health as params.recoverPoints is initially nil

self.recoverPoints = params.recoverPoints and params.recoverPoints or 5000

Initial value can be set in PaddleSelectState when it changes to ServeState, beginning a new game. PlayState would then receive recoverPoints in params, as mentioned by @geralddzx and @fontinixxl .
