To Do

• [x] Finish mechanical prototyping
  • [x] Chimney

• [x] Remake prototype buildings at final scale and with accurate holes for the shafts
• [x] Cut out jig for buildings
  • [x] Figure out weighting
• [x] Hook up remaining electronics for playtesting
  • [x] Building lights
  • [x] Test rotary encoder vs joystick vs buttons only
  • [x] Arcade buttons to control scenes / movements (start with day + night, also try 3 buttons for the 3 separate buildings)

(by 12/7)

• [x] Fine-tune coding on interactions
  • [x] Streetlights - fade in
  • [x] Building interiors
  • [x] OLED sign
  • [x] Motor? Might run this entirely separately from Arduino, would save a headache
• [x] Make casing
• [x] Make button panel
• [x] Final fabrication - decide whether to recut buildings entirely or just reweight them once new motor comes in
• [x] Add birds / figure out power lines
