Dev Notes

• coordinates are relative to a unit square centerd at 0 since wanted to render in a scalable square canvas. So x and y range from [-0.5, 0.5]
• when defining shape geometry in render functions, use "local" canvas methods (like localMoveTo or localLineTo) to ensure canvas drawing that's relative to its entire object hierarchy
• when writing classes extending BaseGameObject, write render and update functions. These are called internally with the BaseGameObject's _render and _update functions
• z - indicates depth from near (z = 0) to far (z = 1) plane

Possible Polyfills to Fill
