Planet Miner To Do List

Priority List

1. Render stuff
   1. Render a cube
   2. Render a bunch of cubes
   3. Diffuse lighting
   4. Ray tracing?
2. Procedural worlds
   1. Optimize rendering for this many cubes
3. Block game
   1. World editing

Idea Categories

1. Game Engine?

   • Custom in C
     • Started work on one, kinda liking it so far
   • Don't really like pre-built game engines
     • If I use one it'll likely be Godot

2. Voxelization

   • Zoning
     • Each planet has its own coordinate system (non-voxelized)
     • Material is distributed in amorphous blobs containing a certain percent resource
     • Before world editing can begin, a work zone must be established to create a local voxelized coordinate system

3. Progression

   • The cores of planets exist as large non-voxelized structures
     • Requires high level tools to mine
     • Contain lots of resources
       • Nickel
       • Iron
   • Asteroids can be mined like planet cores
     • Less valuable resources
     • Mostly rock
     • Requires lower level tools
   • Game starts on an Earth-like planet
     • Make basic tool with sticks rope and stone fragments
       • Stone fragments from smashing stones on rock

4. Documentation

• Error Codes!
