1. The space game has continuous space because you can be at any point in the level; it has discrete space in the sense that you can only be on this level or the other level.

2. The space game is best thought about in 2-D since the view a movements are restricted to up-down-left-right.

3. The boundaries are the level edges located at the beginning, end, top and ground floor of the level.

4. The space character has four verbs: swinging and throwing, moving and jumping.

5. The verbs can act on 2 types of objects: the aliens for swinging and throwing, and the ground for moving and jumping.

6. The player can take a number of n paths to reach or achieve his goal depending on the level design.

7. The player controls 1 subject, the astronaut character.

8. If a player kills an enemy in his way, he can now go through that path.

9. The space character has four operative actions: swinging and throwing, moving and jumping.

10. The resultant actions in the space game are killing, fighting, and capturing.

11. I would like the players to run the game with my game engine instead.

12. The ultimate goal is to defeat the aliens.

13. The short term goals are to kill aliens and beat the level. The long term goal is to conquer the aliens.

14. To make the goals/rules known to the player, a short text describing the goals/rules will be available to them.

15. The foundational rules of the game are: you can only move in 2-D, you cannot walk through objects, and you have to beat a level to move to the next one.

16. The rules are enforced through super legit code.

17. The game develops hand eye coordination.

18. The game doesn't develop any virtual skills.
