Code TODOs:
- implement free zooming
- Implement a recap of the actions of the other player
- implement terrain effects. ie traveling up hill limits distance, down hill boosts distance, etc.
- split the game into 2 parts: in the first part, the only available action is to create units. In the second part, you can do everything else except create units (ie move, attack, etc).
- implement game victory. as of right now that will just be when all the enemy units have been killed.
- implement notifications. this will be a hurdle, because moai currently doesn't support notifications to individual phones (they have a group notification). They are working on it, but I may just have to come up with something myself.
Art TODOs:
replace pictures on game page with good art
Revamp the ui
concept different units
unit animations
