Step One: Watch Mary Rose Cook Live Codes Space Invaders from Front-Trends. (The second worst conference name ever?)
Step Two: Fork this gist.
Step Three: Respond to this question in your fork: What is one approach you can take from this Mary's code and implement in your project? She codes like a storyteller. This approach is something that resonates with me because I think in stories, if you will, and being able to design an entire game step by step simple by telling the story is something I hope to incorporate into my code design from now on. Honestly, without this video, it would've been much harder for me to complete my Gametime project, which was also Space Invaders. This video was very helpful in my implementation.
Step Four: Totally Optional: take a look at some of the other forks and comment if the spirit moves you.
