+# Story
+
+This is living document that describes the story of the project, from inspiration to solution.
+When a website is available, this document will help curate it's content.
+
+## Inspiration
+
+I initially got the idea for this project after finding a video about another Pac-Man clone on YouTube.
+
+[![Code Review Thumbnail][code-review-thumbnail]][code-review-video]
+
+This implementation was written in C++, used SDL2 for graphics, and was kinda weird - but it worked.
+
+- I think it was weird because the way it linked files together is extremely non-standard.
+  Essentially, it was a single file that included all the other files. This is not how C++ projects are typically structured.
+- This implementation was also extremely dependent on OOP; Rust has no real counterpart for OOP code, so writing my own implementation would be a challenge.
+
+## Lifetimes
+
+Rust's SDL2 implementation is a wrapper around the C library, so it's not as nice as the C++ implementation.
+Additionally, lifetimes in this library are a bit weird, making them quite difficult to deal with.
+
+I found a whole blog post complaining about this ([1][fighting-lifetimes-1], [2][fighting-lifetimes-2], [3][fighting-lifetimes-3]), so I'm not alone in this.
+
+## Emscripten & RuggRogue
+
+One of the targets for this project is to build a web-accessible version of the game. If you were watching at all during
+the Rust hype, one of it's primary selling points was a growing community of Rust-based web applications, thanks to
+WebAssembly.
+
+The problem is that much of this work was done for pure-Rust applications - and SDL is C++.
+This requires a C++ WebAssembly compiler such as Emscripten; and it's a pain to get working.
+
+Luckily though, someone else has done this before, and they fully documented it - [RuggRouge][ruggrouge].
+- Built with Rust
+- Uses SDL2
+- Compiling for WebAssembly with Emscripten
+- Also compiles for Windows & Linux
+
+This repository has been massively helpful in getting my WebAssembly builds working.
+
+## Key Capturing Extensions in WASM Build
+
+Some extensions I had installed were capturing keys.
+The issue presented with some keys never being sent to the application.
+To confirm, enter safe mode or switch to a different browser without said extensions.
+If the issue disappears, it's because of an extension in your browser stealing keys in a way that is incompatible with the batshit insanity of Emscripten.
