Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As user play and get the hang of the game, they should have something they can upgrade that would allow them to build larger scale programs (achieve higher scores)

Describe the solution you'd like
Have an area on the main page where the user can earn and apply permanent PC upgrades that help them during games.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Just a few ideas to start:

  • CPU : allows player to increase the number of active stacks in a playfield (currently not limited but could be to allow for this and scalable difficulty)
  • RAM : increases the number of cards that can be played on a stack (currently limited to 4)
  • PSU : protects user from natural forms of power loss (if this is the case, there should be an unnatural form of power loss like an EMP as an example just off the top of my head)
  • Mobo : increases the bonus offered by overclocking and decreases the penalty for a hot system
  • cooler : allows for more overclocking before a heat penalty is incurred

It could even extend into some software elements such as VPN's or anti-virus of some kind.

Additional context
I'm thinking with this enhancement we could change some of the special cards we currently have to upgradeable components and then their in game effectiveness depends on how much the user has upgraded that type of card e.g. A player who's anti-virus is only level 1 wouldn't be able to protect themselves from a level 5 virus.

A few of these ideas will be addressed as part of @hastar07 work.
