Maintenance and Extension

When the system, as it was initially intended to look like, has become a finished package (as specified within the main objectives) , we might desire to extend it or improve it by adding more features or reviewing the algorithms respectively. This stage is a never-ending process which would be classified as 'just a possibility' at this point. The tasks listed as secondary objectives should be the ones to be taken into consideration here.

Shall any other ideas come up during development, assuming that they are of some importance of use, we may add them to the list of the secondary tasks. It is quite likely that some of these features that are identified later are even more useful than the ones currently suggested. The previous prioritisation should be re-evaluated in such a case too.

However, since the code is flexible enough to allow the game to mutate into another8 , it is valuable to bear in mind that maintenance and extensions could potentially be carried out by other game programmers. The documentation for this application, as it was specified in subsection 6, should practically serve its purpose here.
