|
|
* Add preferences for text color to config file
|
|
* Dialog box for displaying detailed information about a star or planet
|
|
* Star browser: flag stars with planetary systems
|
|
* Solar system browser: add icons
|
|
* Popup H-R diagram window
|
|
* Use a slider widget for controlling ambient light level
|
|
* Allow precise control of FOV
|
|
|
|
VISUALS
|
|
* Non-Lambertian illumination functions for planets
|
|
* Comets with dust and ion tails
|
|
* Bump mapped cloud layers
|
|
* Render dark dust bands in galaxies
|
|
* Add textures to Mir model
|
|
* Cloud shadows
|
|
|
|
POLISH
|
|
* Tutorial mode
|
|
* Preload some textures to avoid loading delay
|
|
* Make the demo loop
|
|
* Add a demo mode that visits random targets
|
|
* Compute accurate altitude above oblate planets/stars using point-to-ellipsoid
|
|
distance function.
|
|
* Load add-ons from subdirectories of extras
|
|
|
|
SIMULATION ACCURACY
|
|
* Fix apparent magnitude calculation for planets
|
|
* Figure out a way to estimate gas giant's radius given its mass
|
|
* Model the chaotic rotation of Hyperion
|
|
* Account for the finite speed of light
|
|
* Use more intuitive/standard fields in galaxies file--instead of axis/angle
|
|
orientations, use 'angle from face on' etc.
|
|
* Fix moon orbit bug: http://shatters.net/forum/posting.php?mode=reply&t=4966
|
