Replace the C code which built tables at game launch time with a script which generates these tables at build time. This reduces the start time of the application and saves code space and is a necessary step before adding some new tables to handle the mouse efficiently.

Add the code to handle restricting the spider to lower and lower rows as the score goes up. This is the final bit of game logic necessary for the bugs in the game I think.

Add some comments about the spider score threshold yet to be implemented where it is restricted to a smaller and smaller space close to the player.

Implement the code to add the flea at the right time. This includes tracking the score in multiples of 20,000 and adjusting the number of mushrooms required in the infield before a flea will appear. Simplify the other score based thresholds which are based on multiples of 20,000 to use this test. Add debug which allows me to add 20,000 to the score whenever I want so I can test these thresholds more easily.

Change the code for centipede speed to skip slow speed segments entirely once the score is more than 40000.
...
Add segments at the start of the next level in reverse order so the single head segments are added first. This ensures they do collision detection properly in the updateSegment code.
Fix a bug where a set of 16 tiles were always marked as occupied by a centipede segment because we didn't clear it properly on each updateSegment call. This fixed a problem with segments changing direction for no apparent reason.
Test for collisions on the two tiles the segment is spanning and change direction if either is occupied. This should eliminate single segments travelling on top of each other.
Add scorpions randomly during a game once we get to level 4. They are added with a 1 in 512 chance every 60 seconds so you should see a scorpion about once every 10 seconds or so.
When the score is above 20000, add scorpions at fast speed 3/4 of the time, slow speed the other 1/4 of the time. Lower scores, the scorpion is always slow.

Implement the code to add spiders to the game. From my testing, it looks like 2 seconds after a spider leaves the game (either shot or off the screen), another one is added. Also, once the score is about 5000, the spiders added will be fast. The only spider behaviour I know of which is so far not implemented is as the player reaches higher levels, the spider constrains itself closer and closer to the bottom of the screen.

Hook up the score. Shooting fleas, spiders, scorpions or segments will increase the score. We track the score in two ways. One is just as a 32-bit unsigned integer for doing numeric comparisons on the score (say to the high score list to be implemented in the future) and secondly as a series of numeric digits displayed in a tile. Both are updated.

Change from an array of structs to a series of individual arrays for the tile information. This makes it easier to index into the arrays because the tile number * 2 is the offset, rather than tile number * 16.
