+- add a test to forbid more than 5% grey bricks on black background, remove grey bricks border
 
 ## Done

 # Ideas and features 
 
-## UX / gameplay
-
-- avoid showing a +1 and -1 at the same time when a combo increase is reset
-- translate fastlane presentation texts to french
-- mobile option: relative movement of the touch would be amplified and added to the puck 
-- mobile option: don't pause on mobile when lifting finger
-- [obigre] Offer to level ups perks separately from picking new ones 
-- strict sample size red borders ?
-- on mobile, add an element that feels like it can be "grabbed" and make it shine while writing "Push here to play"
-- add a clickable button to allow sound to play in chrome android
-- see how to do fullscreen on ios, or at least explain to do aA/hide toolbars
-- when game resumes near bottom, be unvulnerable for .5s ? , once per level

-## Game engine features ideas
-- save state in localstorage for easy resume of a game in progress
-- ask for permanent storage
-- more help somewhere accessible
-- limit GC by reusing coins and particles
-- convert captures to mp4 unsing ffmpeg wasm because reddit refuses webm files
-- disable zooming (for ios double tap)
-- few puck bounces = more choices / upgrades
-- show total score on end screen (score added to total) 
-- handle back bouton in menu 
-- balls could collide with each other
-- manifest for PWA (android and apple)  
-- Offline mode web for iphone 
-- controller support on web/mobile
-- enable export of gameplay capture in webview
-- endgame histograms could work as filters, when you hover a bar, all other histograms would show the stats of those runs only, without changing reference of categories
-- would be nice to have a leaderboard for not using each perk too. Like "best runs without hot start"
-- restart run on r
-- when missing, redo particle trail, but give speed to particle that matches ball direction
-- Overgrowth — when the ball touches a bomb brick it turns into a regular green brick and spawns 1 more bricks near it (additional levels spawn 2 additional bricks)
-
-## graphics ideas
-- Waterline under the puck, coins slow down a lot, reflections
-- webgl rendering:  background gradient light map, shinier coins, quite hard
-- experiment with showing the combo somewhere else, maybe top center, maybe instead of score.

 - Install the latest version from Fdroid : https://f-droid.org/packages/me.lecaro.breakout/ (updated very rarely because of the updates publication lag) 
 - Download the index.html file or apk from my archive server : https://archive.lecaro.me/public-files/b71/ (any version including latests)
 
+# System requirements 
 
+The game should perform well even on low-end devices.  It's very lean and does not take much storage space (Roughly 0.1MB). The web version is supposed to work on iOS safari, Firefox ESR and chrome, on desktop and mobile.
+If the app stutters, turn on "fast mode" in the settings to render a simplified view that should be faster. You can adjust many aspects of the game there, go have a look !

-  "main_menu.help_content": "# Goal\n\nThe goal is to catch as many coins as possible during 7 levels. \nCoins appear when you break bricks.\nThey fly around, bounce and roll, and you need to catch them with your puck to increase your score. \nYour score is displayed in the top right corner of the screen.\nYou must delete all bricks to progress to the next level. \nIf you drop the ball, it's game over, unless you had the \"extra life\" upgrade.\n\n# Upgrades \n\nAfter clearing a level, you'll be able to pick upgrades among a small selection presented to you. \n\nThe upgrade you pick will apply until the end of the run. You will get more upgrade if you play well : catch all coins, clear the level quickly, never miss the bricks, never bounce on the sides or ceiling.\n\nIf you play very well, you'll also get \"rerolls\" that allow you to shuffle the list of upgrades that are offered to you. Once an upgrade is offered, it's less likely to reappear afterward. \n\nYou also get a free random upgrade at the beginning of each run. There's also an easy mode for kids, where the game will always start with the \"slower ball\" upgrade.  The icon of your randomly assigned upgrade will be the used as the first level you play in each run. You can decide which upgrades can be starting upgrades in the settings. \n\nUpgrades apply to the whole run and can synergize, or really work against each other. Most of the fun of the game is discovering which ones work best together.\n\nSome upgrades help with aiming, like \"Telekinesis\". Some upgrades can be picked multiple times to increase the effect, you'll see for example \"+1 ball level 2\" which adds a third ball.\n\nWhen you first play, only a few upgrades are available, you unlock the rest by simply playing and scoring points. At the end of a run, the things you just unlocked will be shown, and you can check the full content in menu / unlocks.\n\nMany upgrades impact your combo. \n\n# Combo\n\nYour \"combo\" is the number of coins spawned when a brick breaks. It is displayed on your puck, for example x4 means each\nbrick will spawn 4 coins. It will reset if you miss. \n\nMany upgrades will increase the combo when you break a brick, but also add a condition to reset it. So the more upgrades you pick, the faster it will climb, but the more likely it will be that it returns to it's base value. \n\n# Aiming\n\nWhat decides how the ball flies away is only the position of the puck hit. If the ball hits the puck dead center, it will bounce back up vertically, while in you hit more on one side, it will have more angle. \n\nThe puck speed and incoming angle have no impact on the ball direction after bouncing.\n\nYou might find that a smaller puck makes it a bit easier to aim near corners, but also makes it much harder to catch coins.\n\n\"Wind\" and \"puck controls ball\" can help you aim even after the ball bounced to the wrong direction.\n\n\"Slower ball\" gives you a bit more time to aim, particularly useful in later levels where the ball goes faster. The ball also\naccelerates as you spend time in each level. \n\n# Unlocks\n\nWhen starting breakout 71 for the first time, you can access a few upgrades and levels. The rest needs to be unlocked. Upgrades are unlocked by simply playing. Every time you catch a coin, your total score is raised by one. Then once you reach the threshold of the upgrade, it's unlocked.\n\nUnlocking levels is a bit different, it requires you to play very well, in many different ways. The first levels just need a high score of X, but later level are unlocked by reaching a high score of X with perk Y and without perk Z. All those requirements are pseudo random and not handpicked, so some are likely much harder than others. They should be the same for everyone though. It might happen that an update of the game perks list changes the required perks. \n\n# System requirements \n\nThe game should perform well even on low-end devices.  It's very lean and does not take much storage space (Roughly 0.1MB). The web version is supposed to work on iOS safari, Firefox ESR and chrome, on desktop and mobile.\n\nIf the app stutters, turn on \"fast mode\" in the settings to render a simplified view that should be faster. You can adjust many aspects of the game there, go have a look ! \n\n",
