Allow wires to be spooled. For the player this means that they can pick up the wire and move it without dragging it behind them. This mechanic should be an upgrade the player finds in game.

Complete the rest of Wired's Map. Progress is currently 4/9

Live wires should electrocute the player on contact with the sparking end. If the wire is pinned on both sides, nothing should happen. If a a player disconnects a live wire from a plug, they will be electrocuted. Upon dying, a short shock animation will be played and the game will load the last save.

• Add electrocution animation
• Reload save
• Redesign levels so they can be beaten with death enabled

Currently two bytes are used for one tile. I could probably bring that down by using 1 bit to store solid/not-solid, 3 bits for special info, and 4 bits for conductance.

Continuing from #5, just making a menu isn't enough.

• Draw game title "WIRED" in a large font
• Emphasize selected element in multiple ways:
  • Draw selected element in active color
  • Add wires going from edge of screen to currently selected element
• Make some neat menu music

The current music is a bit lacking. Spice it up with some more varied rhythms, and add more interesting melody and harmony. https://composercode.com/how-to-make-8-bit-music-two-free-methods/#Tips_for_Composing_8-bit_Music

Update WAE?

• Patch tool - combines two wires into one (somewhat unrealistic but would probably be fun)
  • Wire cutter - turns one wire into two (might need to be combined with patch tool)
• Spooler - see #12
• Rubber boots - prevents shocks from walking over electrified things (wires are still deadly if you grab them)

Long-Term goal. Allow players to make single-room puzzles and save them.

Conductive platforms conduct electricity and present solid ground for the player. They can be electrified by live wires touching them or through conduit. In most cases these platforms will need to be turned off before the player can progress,

Players should be able to resume playing from where they last left off, start a new game, and view previous high scores. If I implement an in-game level editor, this will be how it is accessed.

Players should have their progress saved every time they collect a coin or enter a room. Only objects players can interact with should have their state saved, everything else can be computed. This means door tiles in the map, switches in circuit, wires, coins, and player position must be saved.

"High Scores" should be saved separately from the rest of the game data so that it will be persisted between new games.
