Game of Life (gofl?)

=====

**Gameplay tips :**

 - Hit R to rotate.

**Development tips :**

 - Check out how to use node-inspector for debugging

 - ./setup.sh must be run to set up the dependencies

 - ./run.sh or ./local.sh must be run to turn on the server

 - Always run local.sh instead of run.sh if you want speed! (use a local instance of redis - it's very easy to set up and run)

 - the server will now autorestart on changes (using nodemon)

**TODO (Viktor) :**

 - handle game status better

 - make anonymous players work

 - never use alerts because they can cause the socket.io session to time out!

 - replay games

 - make rematch games their own thing

 - better management of rematch games

 - smoother layout

 - facebook connect

 - challenge a friend on facebook

 - time limit to make a move

 - anonymous users

 - tournaments

 - Use Stripe for micropayments?

 - benchmark browsers -> give them the option to play bigger game

 - webgl shaders!

 - preloading system fun stuff?

 - pack the javascript

 - erase all feature

 - preview of eraser

 - clear "other player disconnected"

 - clear current block when press play

 - descriptions of shapes

 - careate a generic way to send json to the front end with the initial page load and fire events with the data delivered

 - log in without refreshing the page

**TODO (Greg) :**

 - Change the color of hover tiles

 - Stop the player from editing the grid after hitting play

 - 1 and 2 frame loop detection? How about we do a hack where we check if the pop hasn't changed in 10 generations? Or has a 2 frame loop for 20 generations?

 - make the enemy half of the grid be gray instead of cell-less during the placement phase of the game

 - chat

 - constant board early termination and 2 generation loop detection

 - keep track of which game the user is in so we can override the cached socket connection if they join with a new client

 - make the size of the pieces selector make sense?

 - scale pieces down to fit them in the menu

 - pregenerate .png images for the pieces (in a sprite sheet? on another server?)
