 ### Snap to grid when moving an object
 
 1. Currently snapping to the grid snaps the mouse cursor to the grid, however, that can lead to object still not lining up properly. The object's bounding box should be what snaps to the grid. If a reference point is needed for snapping, use the object's upper left point of the bounding box.

+## Stickman editor (Phase 6 Round 1)
+
+### Seletion bounding box as well as rotation 'dot' should stay in front of all other objects.
+If an object is selected, it's bounding box and rotation dot should be in front of all other objects.
+
+### Touchpad panning is too slow
+Panning using the touchpad does not moves too slowly.  We need to increase the distance the panning moves through touchpad.
+
+### Zooming in/out
+When zooming in, we should use the mouse cursor as the zoom in point.  If the cursor is in the window should determine where the zoom should happen.

+## Stickman editor (Phase 6)
+
+### Touchpad controls
+Currently the mouse handles most of the controls.  We need to adapt the controls to a touchpad as well. We should make the following adaptions:
+- Panning in each window is handled by holding down the middle mouse button and moving the mouse.  This should be done on a touchpad by using a 2 finger drag.
+- Zoom in handled by the scroll wheel on the mouse.  It should also be handled by pinch zooming on the touchpad.
+
+### Color picker recent colors
+The color picker currently is not storing recent colors.  It should keep track of at least 8 colors that were used previously in the project so that the user can reuse colors.
+
+### Bottom of screen status bar
+Just like the menu bar at the top of the screen, the bottom of the screen should have a status bar that will hold information about the project, current operation, etc.  It should be easily readable
+
+### Pixel (x, y) display on the status bar
+In the status bar described above, we should display the current coordinates of the cursor in the current window in pixels.  The coordinates should be based off of which window the cursor is currently over.  Make sure to take into account panning and zooming, so the windows should probably have a set coordinate limit.  Maybe (0, 0) to (large x, large y) This coordinate display should be on the left side of the status bar.
+
+### Snap status
+In the status bar mentioned above, there should a display that shows if snapping is on or off.  Label it as "SNAP: OFF" or "SNAP: ON". That display should be on the right side of the status bar.
+
+
+
 ## Rules
 
 1. Try to use standard Godot controls when applicable
