Today's achievement

I did some research today to find a vision of the mood I want to evoke. The font could be Audiowide. I'm not sure, how large the zip will become since fonts tend to be large.

From a colour palette, I'm pretty much sold on gold-on-midnightblue. So I looked for a palette to much it.

During research, I noticed, that circular design feels pretty much futuristic. I also browsed through Magic: The Gathering cards as they have amazing artwork!

So … I tried to look into whether <canvas> can be made circular. It can! With a border-radius you can cut corners.

I always struggle with finding good names and was amazed to discover a name generator online! Why haven't I thought earlier about looking for one?!

With all these information packed I went ahead and wrote a Game Design Document!

commit diff b806baaa105a77c7118bae6e6b241b6c452449f1 to 1050877d5a27fcdb31d5bf315f4cba8ef62d059a

Next steps

I want to sleep over my shot, to see, whether the idea of two hours worth of conscious work holds water.

See ToDos from yesterday.
More ideation
Blackjack game logic research
Card design research

Codewise

I think, some refactorings could ease the next step.

Create a file to hold references to DOM elements (to avoid null checks)
Move update-functions for position and physics into dedicated files
