       | I like this framework. It provides the next run of benefits for a

       | hierarchy, in order of increasing complexity, is:
       | 
       | * Drawing basic 2D primitives @ a specific frame rate, handling
       | inputs
       | 
       | * Drawing image files and spritesheets
       | 
       | * A way to organize scenes/stages
       | 
       | * Collision detection
       | 
       | * Path finding

       | Great work. The examples are fantastic. Code looks really clean,
       | but there's quite a bit of magic going on that's not immediately
       | understandable. For example, in the flappy bird clone, how are
       | the pipes' placement determined?

         | The bird moves forward constantly, the camera follows the bird,
         | and the pipes spawn at a fixed location one screen width ahead
         | of the bird.

       | Just about finished Dan Shifmans nature of code book - I believe
       | he is re-writing it for p5.JS Definitely worth keeping an eye on.
