    • A lot of code in multiple sections are re-usable, so re-factoring the code once in a while will be helpful to ensure a more clean & efficient code.
    • Plan how many stages/levels before starting to code.
    • CSS is important to ensure game looks professionally-done.
    • User-feedback is crucial to improving the app. Having multiple people test the game allows revision and improves overall user-experience.
    • Committing more and having structure when committing will be useful later on when referencing what has been done.
