+## Changelog
+
+The previous version was two easy to break, even with the requirement of jumping
+over a ripple to generate a new one and increase your score. This led to the
+following major changes:
+
+* The game now incorporates asteroid/pacman mechanics. Rather than bouncing off
+  walls, the player and ripples will instead come out the opposite wall they
+  travel through.
+
+* Jump height no longer affects score or the "strength" of a ripple.
