• Should I use Redux?
• Dynamically draw cards or draw while loading and cache

Gameplay Brainstorm

• How does the game work?
  • Modes
    • Puzzle Mode
      • No Time Limit
      • Lose when errors > max
      • Complete set = + points
      • Wrong set = - points || error
    • Endless Mode
      • No errors
      • Infinite sets
      • Submit high
    • Time Attack Mode
      • Time limit
      • Infinite sets (No full deck/keeping track of remaining)
      • Make as many matches as possible
      • Guaranteed set?
  • Low Hanging Fruit
    • All of it
  • Extremely tall, labor intensive but awesome fruit
    • Multiplayer
      • Game rooms
      • Actual set game clone

Questions

• Do I actually need a real deck? What purpose does it serve... natural balance and if I want to do multiplayer, it's proven to be fun -- sounds like a yes
• How do I want to deal with # of community cards? Real game lets you add rows if no matches are found-- but why deal with it? Better solution is to never deal a no-match scenario.
  • Near the end of the game, there will eventually be a no-match scenario/uneven cards... who cares, just avoid matches until there are no possibilities left. Depends how fast algo is.

MVP

• Get existing logic working so I can try to time it and explicitly make improvements
• Refactor to efficient code
