Technical issues

• Refactor sound player code
• deal with the click that occurs when resuming tracks – this also happens with ship thrust and is now really annoying
• Command Line Arguments (logging, startup mode[windowed, maximised, fullscreen])
• Full Screen mode
• Options Menu – volume controls – fullscreen/windowed
• RawInput?
• use object pools for input buffer and game viewmodels
• Handle game crashing when screensaver/sleep happens
• Use a centrally fixed cursor in the viewport
• Embed sounds in binary - requires customised NAudio reader
• decouple the diagnostics screen so that it doesn’t ship with release builds to minimise 3rd party dependencies
• replace oxyplot with simple line drawing (see SoundTest) as full charting isn’t needed
• don’t ship the .pdb files with the binary (makes for a smaller download)
• scoreboard loading is too slow - refactor?

Gameplay issues

• acceleration should be clamped - infinite acceleration makes no sense
• special effect for getting to first on the score board

Story issues

Rendering issues

• Plasma blobs need animation
• Show energy meter
• Show shields

Possible mechanics

• Enemy Ships
• Enemies that fire weapons
• Enemies that lay mines
• Inertialess Enemies
• Impenetrable scenery (e.g. planets)
• The ability to fire back
• The ability to drop mines
• Orbital mechanics
• upgradable thrusters with differing acceleration clamps
• Race enemies to the objective
