Development instructions for Linux
----------------------------------

threebean found that on Fedora 17, he had to do the following stuff to get
pygame to stand up correctly in a virtualenv::

$ sudo yum -y install pygame pygame-devel
$ mkvirtualenv --system-site-packages pyCaveExplorer
(pyCaveExplorer) $ python setup.py develop

Then I could run the game by typing::

(pyCaveExplorer) $ explore-the-cave

TO DO :
-------

- learn pygame

- make grid

- decide resolution
- tag for current square
- tag for goal square
- tags for lit squares
- tags for unlit squares
- tags for blocked squares
- lightbulb object
- battery object
- treasure object
- way to track which squares are electrically connected
- mirrors ?

- grid generator

- create genrator that randomly populates grid
- create solver to check if grid is valid

- re-create grid if invalid

- create stat tracking interface

- incorporate with Journal

--------------------

Teach fourth grade electricity and magnetism

--------------------

Some concepts:

- battery is placeable, but then anchored in place
- player gets certain number of lights per level
- infinite lengths of wire
- lights are placeable, but then anchored in place
- there are mirrors in the grid that will direct light in certain directions

Lighting Strategies:

- the player can quickly light an area in series, using one wire.

- provides average lighting
- requires less "commands"
- can short out the battery

- the player can take more time to light the area in parallel.

- provides better lighting
- requires more "commands"
- will not short out the battery
