We need a better way of rendering what should be on screen. Maybe keeping state is a better way to handle this?

You should be able to view a leaderboard in the game itself as well as the website.

Score should be tied to user

• Github project name
• Readme references
• Readme screenshot(s)

Ex: classes line 251

We should start testing stuff!

Example:

Current score, next level name/number, lives left etc...

Maybe something like this bottom row. Would probably be weird when the ship gets to the bottom of the screen and runs into it though. Need to make sure those colors don't clash.

Is there a more interesting way we can identify users outside of using their initials? How could we input this with just a joystick and button?

• include user
• include user ship
• include enemy ships

• Design leaderboard
• Build leaderboard
• Auto update server
• Patch notes

Base design on #10

• Perhaps create level editor?

Might be worth adding a delta timer for key presses. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11355595/is-it-possible-to-override-the-keydown-repeat-delay-in-javascript

Collision detection, shooting, and movement patterns.

Hzeller is back at it! See if the updated library has any updated features or works any better.

^ this guy has done some pretty cool stuff and uses a command to monitor the Hz or FPS.

Not sure if site should live on DO or Now. Should look into how easy this would be to setup on DO and push with automatic workflow on Circle.

How does a level generated? Are the enemies random or is it the same every time?

If so how is a level stored? In the DB?

How do power-ups work? What abilities do they give you? How do you activate them?

One idea for activation is "catching" or "docking" the upgrade by driving your ship into it. The upgrade would be become part of your ship for (n) amount of time and then blink rapidly before going away.
