  1. get copy of zzt from ryan's site and create github repo
  2. dig into source code and add comments (we dont need comments for every line of code, or even every method, but we should have comments at the top of each file indicating what it does and we should have major sections commented)
  3. remove any breaking user experience breaking issues in the code (random alerts, any js errors that caus browser to stop working, etc.)
  4. play the game and redig back into source code. we need to determine things like how screens are being loaded, how the guys moves around, and how collisions are being detected. we don't need an indepth review, but you should become familiar with how the game engine itself works.
  5. attempt to create a custom map / UI screen and have the dude navigate around in it.
  6. review items with team to determine best strategy for doing the multiplayer aspects. (in both game design and technical specifications)

  1. let ryan know we have started the zzt mmo project
  2. discuss with ryan how current game data is being generated by the server, and how we should be generating it in the future.
  3. create readme file for github
  4. setup shell node.js web application with working zzz front-end and deploy to zztmmo.nodejitsu.com
  5. send out email to mailing list to try and recruit more people / start to build project traction
