Reflection

I was kind of rushing to implement lives as I was mainly doing pair programming with Joseph, trying to get the asteroids to work. If I hadn't spent so long on that I would have probably made a proper class for lives

what does it look like, a number, 3 icons? where, I will put them in the middle of screen How many lives do I start with? Hit by what? What happens when I loose a life, I respawn exactly where I died? What does game end look like - (lazy prgrammer will exit game)

Good story... but missing:

• conditions of satisfaction (acceptance criteria)
• Tests
• UML diagrams
• SOLD description
• reflection
