The TODO

Revive

[#B] Create simple goals to work towards

[#B] A goal for the game (How to finish a game)

[#C] API for AI

Create a configuration system

[#A] Make perfectstorm compile and run

[#B] Update libs

There is a lot of unportable bindings in use, so it’s not just “change the loaded lib” and be done with it, we’ll have to change the existing code to correspond to the new bindings.

[#C] Fix/Change licenses

Is this really important? Not really, at least not yet. Although it would be good to change to something like LGPL, BSD or MIT for the license.

General

[#B] GUI-System, plan out

[#C] GUI Debugging: Unit-stats/target/command/etc

[#B] Command groups to do more things except giving destination

[#B] Shoot Rockets

[#C] Air/ground weapons

[#C] Sound

[#B] Proper feature checking (especially for shaders) and nice error messages too

[#A] Install cl-cairo2

[#B] Heap and/or priority-queue package

[#A] Start doing things at the same time

example: When having about 80 units on each team onscreen, and you select somewhere for a high % of those units to move, the game stops to calculate the path(s) there. Make it use a co-routine or something.

Bugs

Fix - Crash when the leader for the group dies

How is the leader determined? And (how) is it displayed to the player?

Fix - Mouse-cursor cannot be hidden, so one can’t use the cool cursor instead

Fix - Crash when units run off the grid

You will have to order them to do something though, otherwise it doesn’t crash..

Fix - Crash when clicking outside the grid

Graphics refactoring

Requirements:

Draw on pieces that are sorted/grouped together

Composite things as standard feature, which rotate together, move, stretch?

e.g. glows, caps at the end of laser

Children must also be reached over its name

Things in the engine have equivalent (entity) in the game

think about it (it’s brilliant)
