Dev Takeaways
Build only 1 feature at a time and start with only the minimum features to test the idea
First get it working, then clean it up, then make it work better, then move on to the next feature
Break your code into as many small, reusable functions as possible
Use tools that make building faster! Vue.js is an observable state library that made developing this game 10x faster
