Due to not passing session to move.

Might not fix: it isn't too noticeable and gives some character to the game.

An endgame screen should be shown upon game completion. Remember players to come back for more levels/updates!

Idea: create "dummy" level upon loading.

Should use memory as cache for recent sessions.

See these:

• https://addons.heroku.com/mongohq
• https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/mongohq
• https://addons.heroku.com/mongolab

Consider SQL:

• https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/clojure-web-application

"Click new" message if no session is available instead of forcing new session.

I should probably talk with an artist...

Idea: alternate (optional) IP session mechanism (avoiding cross-site cookies)

• Resort to it as a fall-back mechanism?
• Do not print anything until session is up? Then, two images (one blank.)

Deploy and release everywhere.

Needed for framework-like extensibility.

Since Clojoban parses the REFERER header from HTTP requests to determine the selected action, it has to be enabled in the users' browser.

Some people disable this feature for privacy reasons, so remotely-embedded Clojoban won't work for them.

WILL NOT FIX. It's part of the puzzle approach.

Allow for better swap of games and framework-like use.

When reloading/acting on frontpage, the webpage is rendered for a bit without the image. Looks like flickering and is a bit annoying.

At least with their last versions. Use P3P as suggested in CodeGolf's comments?

Either use more compression on PNG or switch to lossy (JPG?) formats.

See these:

• http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/imageio/ImageWriteParam.html
• http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/imageio/class-use/ImageWriteParam.html

Either cache level images or at least do something about the long loading time.

• In URL or data/post/get
• Embedded or remote URL
• Must sandbox somehow!

Level, code, images...

Link to external level authors too.

For instructions and such!

TODOs + collaboration section

• Doors with switches
• One-ways
• Traps

Gather inspiration:

As URL part or session configuration. Sandbox to avoid big bandwidth usage.

Control Jetty thread pooling for more threads if need (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7878725/limiting-the-number-of-threads-compojure-spawns.) Might make server more responsive.

Action (or maybe URL part) to switch between installed themes. Save in session or depends of URL directly?

No cache control is active, so performance is poor (due to jQuery request.) Might move request to jQuery's server anyways.

• Maybe I shouldn't index images by filename (index by parent directory?)
• May move tiles out of clojoban.ui

Auto-detect it.

• Maybe add a theme config file?
• Check for consistency when loading themes?
• Support for non-square tiles?

Robby?

• Bindings for Graphics and such?
• Maybe use Seesaw or craft my own library.

See these:

• http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/awt/Graphics.html

Allow for messing with the server and configurators.

See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10289617/clojure-ring-jetty-i-am-using-lein-ring-server-how-do-i-configure-the-jetty

Input name in a separate page or arcade-style.

Enable a external config file for the framework (ala-Lein.) This issue might become obsolote before reached due to heavy refactors.

It should warn users to avoid annoying them.

Resources should be reloaded if updated too (by reloading their namespace.) Adds design comfort.

I played until level 3 but it is too large for SO -profile. Levels must be smaller or buttons must be at the top or the screen must move in according to the player. Ideas to fix this?

Enhance style on:

• HUD
• Endgame screen
• Frontpage

And ASAP (10 rep) to user profile.

A HUD must be shown around the game canvas.

• Set custom font
• Border around game?
• Border/tabs around bars?

And think about moving to TDD.

• Minimalistic (but appealing) design.
• Make sure W3C validates both HTML and CSS.
• Images for buttons.
• Add some text or refer to README?
