Improve Data Collection Experience

[josephmaxwellhyland]

Currently, there are some issues with the data collection. It does not look very appealing - it is simply text appearing on the screen. Here are some ideas:

• Create a more compelling background/screen
• Create graphics for each bit (like coins or something, still with 1s or 0s on them)
• Make the bits hover or move enticingly
• Create a pleasant "collection" experience when a bit is tapped

At this point, the collection of bits is the primary gameplay - it should be engaging and compelling.

This will involve the Phaser library quite a bit, but it will be a good opportunity to make a visual change. It could still be relatively simple - even just adding a circle around each number, or allowing for both 0 and 1 instead of just 1.

After the basics, adding some little touches like animation/movement could be cool, like this:

Meeting Notes

• Upgrades: sweep, robot collection
• Have falling green 1s and 0s
• Background: terminal

• Colors --> dark cool colors: green, black(terminal), dark blue(computer background), dark purple(shop),
• Sprites: icons for apps
• Use coin as shop app icon
• Have a computer screen or iPhone screen with different clickable apps
• Have a log in screen with a guest option
• Music: base/main screen, able to buy more tracks, sound effects
• Have a credits page
• For now: have single color buttons

The first iteration of this will look like the code from the Matrix and have falling bits that will need to be clicked before they reach the bottom of the screen.
