[Eighthfleet-development] Updates and thoughts.

[TIMOTHY K H. <tkh...@ve...>]

Pushed another revision this evening, mostly minor stuff, including correct gravity calculations.

Now, before moving on to more game features there are unfortunately a number of additions to the core game code that have to be done first.  I've been putting these off because, frankly, they're going to be painful.

-Mouse selection is a big one.  My previous attempt at this caused the game to completely break, but it has to be done.  We can't go on using keys to cycle through targets forever.

-Navigation AI.  Again, painful, but it has to be done.  Ships must be able to go between point a and point b on their own without any manual steering.

-A ship builder.  Pretty obvious what this should be, maybe not so obvious how to go about it.  I'm pretty sure mouse-selection is going to need to be done first for this to not be a really tedious process.

Anyway, that's what's to be done next, I think.  After that, more can be done to make it start acting like a game.
