Development Notes

• Don't decouple everything so much.

  • It's not a REST server
  • (Statelessness is good though, but I might break that eventually.)

• The view must be initialized before the model is.

  • (I'm trying to move away from this.)

• The view has perfect information.

  • The model tells the view everything.
  • The view can show the true state of the game if it wanted to.
  • Having the model hide information from the view would be cool.
    • But also hard.

• The controller plays the model, not the view.

• AI is not smart.

  • AI is not general either.
  • Hardcode each enemy type with their own AI.

• The game does not like hot-reloading.

  • This would have been really nice.
  • It works-ish, but I did not develop with it in mind.
  • It crashes often.

• Godot can be used as a library.

  • TileMaps as sparse int arrays (createse orphan nodes)
  • Resources as data files (naturally)
