As you know, I've set a ridiculously ambitious deadline for this project. (I think that'll be fun :3)

There are a few rough goals here:

1. Make a fun desktop toy with some memes
2. Make it quickly, sexy, and functional
3. Learn modern web techs (have the code be bearable to write and read)

With that in mind, this was the stack (and tools) that I brought together with help from various people:
Pug
Sass
Vue
Bootstrap V4 alpha using flexbox
browserify
NodeJS
Electron
babel (use modern JS)
Webstorm

since learning web techs is a goal, please try to use and incorporate these into the project where you can... trust me you'll enjoy it more than pure js

add simple music

finalize stack and have formalized dependency versions and dependency.. managers in the project

find appropriate game/physics engine to use.
The simpler and faster to develop with, the better.
some choices:
CreateJS - didn't have good physics iirc
Phaser - kinda big and clunky. people keep recommending it but I found it confusing to use.
Box2d
Matter.js
Cannon.js
Backbone - might be very efficient?
Panda - also might be very fast?
StageJS
MelonJS
Pixi.js - also fast

What do you guys think?

including sprite-specific themes

linked to basic sprite actions.

scrollable list of sprites to choose from

pop out

preferably not make it ;)

for unlocking

have sprite follow mouse

allow mouse clickthrough to underlying windows and desktop

and when clicking off the sprite, clickthrough

which means momentum, and nice click/drag UX

allow each item to be lockable/unlockable

for registering and triggering game events

begin setting things up

I got this.
