Decisions

• Level storage
  • External file, easier to be edited
  • Scanner reads integers from file
• Texture storage in grids and division into 2 layers
  • One layer as background
  • One layer for turrets, mobs, trashcan, etc.
  • Enables easy access to the textures
• Storing integer values for i.e. textures in a extra class
  • Easy access
  • Can be managed and edited centrally
• Wave-spawn-button
  • Fixes problems with the mob spawner
  • More control by the player
• Graphics decision: No animations
  • Would make the project too complex
