RE: [Isugamedev-midworld] Iteration 2

[Ben S. <bs...@vr...>]

I was thinking of iteration 2 just being the next logical step towards 
completion. Perhaps milestone 2 would have been a better choice of words. 
I don't think we should necessarily have the game completed by the end of 
this phase. Rather, I would suggest some of the following goals:

* Model loading (OpenSG support?)
* Some models to load ...
* Basic AI framework
* Input completed (needs that inputSym library to be written/released)
* Basic UI (HUD for health, weapons, etc) implemented (with phui?)
   - Depends on the input completion
* Simple bounds collision detection integrated

The tasks above focus on two things:
1. Making the game prettier ;)
2. Improving immersion (through interaction)

Perhaps we should shoot for milestone completion at a rate of one 
milestone a week? Then we could set up our milestones based on that.

cheers,
