So while the main game is pretty much done apart from minor tweaks, I was playing around with other uses for the playfield pixels and sprites. Right now I use the ball's coordinates to have the litter drop down the screen. I had considered using a couple variables instead to draw the pixels but I also use the ball collision. I could swap the ball for the missile and completely skip the playfield pixel route and use the ball for something else. I think this can fit nicely in the game somehow, like perhaps a little bonus screen or maybe an easter egg or extra game, like what I did in Crossdock.
