+## 1. refine existing engine (knowing what I know now)
+
+- [x] rewrite event queue as a linked list
+- [x] rewrite animator stacks as linked lists
+- [x] rewrite ship/bullet collections as linked lists
+- [ ] update/draw mode switching system (high-efficiency version)
+- [ ] render ship shields (even for large ships)
+- [ ] duplicate file -- about to split away from Tyrian features
+
+## 2. convert from Tyrian clone to MMBN clone
+
+- [ ] remove PWR meter, replace with weapon queue
+- [ ] remove power mechanics from _player_ ship (only!)
+- [ ] all player weapons are now ammo limited except pea shooter
+- [ ] remove weapon drops
+- [ ] implement fallback pea shooter
+- [ ] implement turn timer (screen-height bar)
+- [ ] replace per-frame CLR with rectfill (saves time)
+- [ ] implement extremely crude prototype for weapon select intermezzo
+- [ ] implement "deck"
+- [ ] implement basic weapon cards
+- [ ] implement starter deck
+- [ ] stabilize this with just starter deck and sample level
+
+## 3. add deckbuilder mechanics
+
+- [ ] implement post-encounter "get a card"
+- [ ] implement deck lister
+- [ ] implement more cards, mini-encounters for deck buildup
+- [ ] implement card levels?
+- [ ] implement card removal (shop?)
+
+## 4. make it a real game
+
+- [ ] actually design a branching encounter sequence
+- [ ] map
+- [ ] "minimap"/scanner on weapon picker
+- [ ] high score board (difficulty x time)
+- [ ] difficulty increase system
+- [ ] as much more crap as I can fit in under the token limit, which
+      is probably not much at this point
+
+## 5. this is just futile isn't it
+
+- [ ] give up and move to TIC-80 because the token limits

Kistaro Windrider	3b8e86d0e7	drawgame via strip, remove bury_the_dead	2023-09-29 09:55:43 -07:00
Kistaro Windrider	1ba869b644	start replacing arrays with intrusive slists `add` costs ten cycles. `push_back` isn't actually any better, but bury_the_dead can get pretty bad, especially for large arrays (like the bullets collections). also replacing the kill loop structure with the `strip` call removes a massive amount of code repetition that's costing me a lot of tokens. I think the final result is _probably_ actually slower because of function call overhead per iteration except when there are collisions on many frames; hopefully the headroom bought by the bucket collider is enough because I'm definitely going to need the tokens.	2023-09-29 01:10:16 -07:00
