Text entry
Tkinter text entry widget
Getting text entry via keystrokes, but doesn’t work for special keys
Getting text entry via keystrokes and works for special keys (i.e. backspace) and has a cursor that can be moved by clicking
Map generation
Hardcoded map
Random map generation
“Smart” map generation (i.e. generating a map that is always solvable)
Terrain generation
Generates flat terrain with “steps”
Generates sloped terrain
Generates smooth curved terrain with orthogonal character
Player tracking
Enemies move towards player in a direct line
Enemies move towards player by picking the best option of several paths
Uses a graph algorithm (i.e. Dijkstra’s) to track player
Sockets
Sends a basic text message via sockets
Sends messages to clients via sockets that contain some kind of data (i.e. position of player)
Stores information on the server and distributes it to clients efficiently
High scores
High score list that saves between plays
High score list that saves even when the program is closed (using file I/O)
High score list per user that saves globally with user login
Body tracking with kinect

Levels
2+ hardcoded levels
Lets users create new levels
Procedurally generates levels of appropriate difficulty
