BattleScripts TODO
Features To Do Before Release | |||
Area | Item | Priority | Status |
UX | Don't expose user's email address when using auth0 login. Figure out how to retrieve actual name, or hide the email. | H | DONE |
Branding | Branding: Establish official logo, colors, etc. | M | WIP |
Server | When a game is published, dynamically generate a social share image for the game from the template and game thumbnail. | M | WIP |
Server | Implement a more efficient leaderboard update process, instead of using a round-robin of all players (very inefficient and causes many games to be played). Consider a Swiss-style tournament, or perhaps a custom format that allows new players to quickly climb the leaderboard if they are good, by starting with the existing ranking and putting new players at the bottom. | M | |
Server + UX | "My Profile" in user menu with editable user details | M | WIP |
Player Editor: Show all user players for a game in the Opponents dropdown, to test a new player against one of their existing players | DONE | ||
Server | Allow a user to create a game from an existing game ID, to create another game similar to an existing one. | L | |
UX | Allow sorting of game list by name and/or difficulty. Default sort easy to difficult. | L | |
UX | Game Editor: Allow game runner to be resized or inspector minimized to focus on game rendering | L | |
UX | Consistently refer to players 1 and 2, not 0 and 1. Everything user-facing should show 1 and 2, even though players is an internal array with players [0] and [1]. | ||
Bug: When game editor launches, it runs two copies of the game simultaneously that overlap each other. | |||
Social | Create Facebook Page | ||
When creating a new game, allow the user to upload images. Perhaps store them as buffers in another Dynamo table? Or write them out to S3 using presigned urls? | |||
UX | Add warning of unsaved changes when navigating away from player or game editors | ||
Technical Debt | |
Item | Status |

Check for random id generation collisions, just in case | |
API throttling, including how many players a user can create, etc. | |
Add minlength check to attributes in API | |

Future Features / Fixes | |||
Show leaderboard trend for players, moving up or down in the last 24 hours | |||
Email updates to users about leaderboard results? | |||
Test the idea of running a player in a different language, in an environment that would support multi-languages | |||
Allow players to create their own games and run matches/tournaments against friends in their browser - no security concerns, no AWS charges | |||
Let players share their player/code with someone else using a secret link or code? | |||
Organization vs Organization tournaments (call them League / Teams???) | |||
Should games have access to a standard library of util functions that are shared, rather than being duplicated in every game? | |||
Mobile App - Jus to check on your place on leaderboard etc, not to write player code. | |||
Organization Leaderboard | |||
Alexa integration to check on leaderboard status? | |||
Should the front-page game be something other than TTT? Maybe more of a single-playerish "beat the level" kind of game? | |||
DONE | |||
Player Editor - Finish state tester - Add error-checking and pop up MessageError. | DONE | ||
My Players: Delete | DONE | ||
My Players: Unpublish | DONE | ||
Social: Make sure that the "preview" looks good when sharing the site on Facebook etc. Use the proper meta tags in the HTML. | DONE | ||

Add a "BETA" banner to the top of the main page to tell users that this is a test version and all players/games may be removed before release | DONE | ||
Handling of re-auth when the token in sessionStorage is not quite right. When the token is expired it gets rejected by the API and the code tries to re-auth with Auth0 and store the refreshed token, but for some reason this doesn't always work right. | Temporarily Solved | ||
