Try to make the level editor be Safe Enough™ to run unknown levels. rlua tries to be safe so it should be fine.

This is probably far off, and never will be implemented, but creating this issue early so it can be referenced from code.

Some pre-requisites:

• Remove unsafe lua methods/libs from sandbox
• Game should probably never panic when running a level

Implement a good-enough copy of the first level (of either of the games).

There should be an easy way to shake the whole screen. It looks good.

We can use build.rs to compile the shaders, since it doesn't need to happen at runtime, and will make things slightly more efficient.

Really minor so not doing that now.

Some improvements can be done to indicators (probably without needing to change level editor at all):

• Indicators should have the same color as the objects they're spawning (kind of). This should be easy.
• Objects that are farther from screen should have indicator show up later. Medium.
• Objects that are farther from screen should have indicator disappear later. A bit hard since the indicator needs to coexist with the object for a while, which needs some refactoring.

Currently it isn't shooting directly to your mouse, because of DPI problems. I think it is an Amethyst issue. See amethyst/amethyst#2307

Like in the original game, a line showing the direction you're shooting, and a circle indicating your cursor position, would be helpful.

It should be possible, from the level editor, to make indicators show up before enemies do.

For some (most?) formations, it should be possible to make the enemies be shot directly in your direction, as that is very used in the original levels.

Add a new dev window in which you can change the value of game constants, to be able to test stuff. Interesting to learn some new amethyst (and Rust) features.

Psycho ball should wildly change colors. Enemies should also slightly change colors.

Right now you have to go to the beginning of the level. Instead have lives and you can re-spawn right away. (And cool explosion like in the original!)
