Current Goals

1. Make a small but well-polished game;
   1.1. Update graphics and sound: team up with/commission artist and sound designer.
2. Restructure the 3rd chapter of the tutorial into a series of "Additional topics".
3. Move current contents of the Chapter3 into Appendix: Step-by-Step Making of Arkanoid.
4. Update contents of the Ch1 and 2.
5. Find a native speaker for proofreading.

Ideas

1. Appendices:
   A-1: Modules Using Environment
   B-1: Intro to Classes
   B-2: Rewrite 2-08 using classes
   C-1: Continuous collision detection (Requested in the issues!)
   D-1: Collision detection library: BUMP
   E-1: ECS? (Rewrite 2-08 in ECS style)?
   F-1: [done] Levels as strings (https://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=83240&start=50#p211310)
   F-2: Tiled

2. OOP implementation:
   Add some corrections to class constructor idiom ( suggested in https://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=83240 ) Alternatively:
   Replace the current raw Lua approach with an external class library.
   Take a look at different libraries, choose one.

3. GUI containers https://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=83240&p=212799#p212778

Propagating changes:

1. Remove ball from switch_to_next_level (probably, starting from 1-05; done for ch3)
2. 1-03+: ipairs in collisions.
3. local small_shift_to_prevent_overlap = 0.1 in check_rectangles_overlap (starting from ch1)
4. 1-03+: change the overlap detection and shift calculation algorithm: https://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=83240&p=211307#p211254 ; (#2 is also related to collisions) ( mostly done; merge and update the wiki; Figs. in 1.3 and 1.4; grep 'collisions' in others )
5. get rid of temporary tables during overlap detection ( https://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=83240&p=211307#p211254 )
6. Use local functions in modules (since 2-01 at least).
7. 3-05+: predefine quads for different sizes of the platform.
8. Preload platform quads instead of using new.quad each time it's size is changed.
9. 3-07+: ipairs in ball.update and ball.draw
10. 3-10+: print -> printf in buttons.lua
