TODO - nosnickid/punani-strike GitHub Wiki

TODO in general:

• Engine
  • Collision detection
    • Use OBB sweep test to stop us flying through walls
    • Implement decent collision response (some basic rigid body physics)
    • Implement high-res collision detection (each triangle in mesh vs OBB)
    • Collide missiles with heli so enemies can shoot back at us!
  • spatialize (pan and attenuate) audio
  • Per pixel lighting
    • [gt] shader already done for this + normal maps
    • [gt] specular map materials
    • Art guys just need to hop on board…
  • [gt] handle edge of maps gracefully
• Gameplay
  • LUA for gameplay? Mono? (rly?)
    • [sd] olli said he might learn lua
    • [sd] i tried to do python once and it was a right nightmare, so unless you have experience i think lua is better.
    • [gt] I think non-turing-complete language for parametrising things like AI or mission conditions, such as a finite state machine. That keeps things so much simpler. But I’ve worked with lua and happy to use it merely as a glorified parser for setting up the state machines / item locations or whatever in a script that runs once at start of level.
  • enemies
    • Need art for static SAM sites
    • Really basic AI for SAM’s
  • items
    • Same logic to place items as enemies
    • Need animation for the little rope ladder to pick them up
    • Need inventory system; which brings us on to
  • HUD
    • Show fuel, ammo, passengers
  • missions
  • menus
• Performance
  • pre bake rotated chopper/rotor shadows
  • extrude volumes using vertex program (apparently a win if the GPU has a lot of EU’s)
