Static maps are good for early development, but it'll be nice to have automatic terrain generation at some point.

Multiplayer games tend to need a way to communicate between clients.

Hosted server/client should be fine for now, may need to offload to a central server at some point.

Avatar movement synchronization, and tower placement are probably step 1/2.

I'm looking at kryonet for server/client connection management.

Need to synchronize or queue any changes that can be initiated by net/ui/main loop threads independently.

Entity lists, path planner intermediate state, more.

Towers need to fight back once there's something to shoot.

Not much of a tower defense game without something to attack you. We'll need markers for spawn location, object Pools, probably some tweaking to PathPlanner, and movement.
