#NYAN-CAT the side scrolling cute shoot em up (bullet hell) game adventure
##Planning
- Initial Planning
-
Create a fun shoot-em-up aka bullet-hell game thats cute, attractive and possibly multiplayer
-
Utilize and educate self on phaser.io (and learning how to google search terms and ask questions in this.community)
- Bonuses (in order)
-
Add use of websockets (socket.io)
-
Add a DB for inputting and saving player scores
-
Putting it on Ionic so its native on mobile, making use of the gyroscope for player movement ##User-stories
-
When I start the game, I want to play the game
-
Game should be intuitive and only need to use a few buttons (move and shoot)
-
Game must be cute, colorful, hilarious, explosions and dodging and with skill
-
When an enemy is eliminated by my nyan-beam, it will explode and drop 'doge tokens'
-
I want my nyan-cat to have a tail that grows based on how well I am doing at the game
-
If the game has multiplayer functionality, I should be able to 'block' other players with my tail. either obscuring their vision or disabling them from grabbing 'tokens'
-
When a player joins on multiplayer, expand the map 'down' by the original map size
-
Players will have views only to the map size (so if they go out of bounds at the bottom, they will see a different 'scene'), similar to Zelda LTTP
-
Bounds can repeat, as in if a player goes all the way North, he will arrive at the last Block view (South)
-
Game should be mobile friendly, on mobile I want to tap the screen to shoot and enable the gyroscope of the device for movement. AND have a default horizontal orientation.

- finish reading the learnpub ##MTues
- collideWorldBounds ##Wednesday
- ok the basic game is good..Need to
- create 'bosses' from killing 15 bombs
