Current Goals

1. Finish Chapter 3.
2. Start to advertise to receive feedback on Ch1 and Ch2.
3. Update graphics and sound: team up with/commission artist and sound effects guy.
4. Start writing appendices.

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
   D-1: Collision detection library: BUMP
   E-1: ECS? (Rewrite 2-08 in ECS style)?
   F-1: 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. Split 1-02 in two parts; for one of the first parts, it's too long right now. new 1-02: define tables for game objects, function for draw and update, and display small array of bricks new 1-03: bricks in rectangular pattern, walls.

Propagating changes:

1. Remove ball from switch_to_next_level (probably, starting from 1-05; done for ch3)
2. local small_shift_to_prevent_overlap = 0.1 in check_rectangles_overlap (starting from ch1)
3. Use local functions in modules (since 2-01 at least).
4. Starting from '3-04 spawning bonuses', use generate_bonus in brick_hit_by_ball ( see Random Bonuses ); In this function, insert check on correctness of bonustype.
5. Defect when 2 'glue' in a row: launch_from_platfrom speed would be 0.
6. 3-01+: ball sphere_rebound instead of rotate_speed
7. 3-05+: predefine quads for different sizes of the platform.
8. 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 )
9. get rid of temporary tables during overlap detection ( https://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=83240&p=211307#p211254 )
10. Preload platform quads instead of using new.quad each time it's size is changed.
11. 3-02+: change ball.update: if stuck: follow, else: pos = pos + speed * dt
12. 3-06+: change ball.launch_from_platform and ball.platform_rebound
13. 3-07+: ipairs in ball.update and ball.draw
