laying out levels
I'm going to design every level of the game using graph paper. each square will be 10x10 pixels, so the viewable area will be 440x300 which amounts to...44x30 squares. This way, I can code every element's coordinates easily. I plan to hard code the levels and use a single file which will store the current level and score. I'm doing this becasue there will be only twenty levels and each will have only eight static objects.
