• extract components from index.js, so more organized and manageable as it gets more complex
• code-split, using dynamic imports
  • see junk.txt...
  • refactor code first
    • separate out character and other distinct game components accordingly
    • dynamic import major game components
    • later on, lazy-load levels as user progresses through game
