One interesting aspect of collecting coins in a platformer like mario: it makes the level stateful. You can see if you've been somewhere before based on whether there are coins present.

I'm coming round to the view that a main function shouldn't take arguments. For example, in Rust you have to call std::env::args() to get CLI arguments. This makes Hello World less verbose, and gives you more flexibility in setting up CLI argument parsers.
