Re: [Xenocide-programming] GeoData.h

No, no, no!

The purpose of GeoData class in my imagination is to provide information
about particular place on the globe. The initial idea for it came when I was
thinking what needs to be done to determine whether I can build a base on
this coordinates or not. Now it grew in something larger.

Keep this in mind. You have a globe. You need a class which will provide
static information about location on the globe. Coordinates of location is
an input. The output must be a class describing the location: ground/water,
climate, terrain, country, continent.

When the caller of GeoData class will get this information, it needs to
consult some rules on what is possible on that location. That is out of
scope of GeoData class. RK's example of GeoData class is very close to what
I imagine myself. I only mentioned those rules as a possible assignment.
But, again these are out of scope of GeoData class.
