	In the beginning of the project, a few [https://github.com/FOSSRIT/PyCut/wiki/Future-planning stretch goals] were identified as extra features that would be nice for us to add if we have time or for future students in the HFOSS course to add if they wish to take our project and improve it.

	=== ~~Difficulty levels~~ ===		=== Additional puzzles ===
	Creating multiple difficulty levels (more toppings, less room for mistakes) is one possibility to expand the scope of the game. This will also make it more accessible to children who fall outside of the 4th grade range. By using difficulty levels, you can have easier puzzles for younger children and harder puzzles for older children.

	~~=== Additional puzzles ===~~
	Another way to expand PyCut would be to add multiple types of puzzles, similar to the original Zoombinis game. The question would be whether the expansion puzzles are related to PyCut and tie into a theme, or if it's a larger game with different logic puzzles tied together.
