Celestial Map

[Tattomoosa]

As a player, I want to see all the cells in the game map I have visited and what is located in each cell upon request, so I can plan my next moves.

Prototype done. (~6 hours?)

The map is a bit messy but it all works. Visibility display kind of works but we can change the implementation from mine if we want and it shouldn't be much trouble.

TODO

• Should center on player whenever player moves
  • Keep same zoom level
  • Center as best as possible
• Update only on a state update instead of every frame?
• Support frame by frame animation?
  • Use another canvas so it doesn't have to update the map
• Should we use images for player/artifacts?
  • Canvas drawing is a real pain.
• Do we need to be able to zoom out and see the whole map?
  • Slow on my laptop
  • Pretty cool, though...
  • Probably can be optimized, maybe by a lot?
  • Does drawing the dots for the places even make sense? A grid would be a lot cheaper to draw...

Update

I did the lazy update thing while making this post since it wound up being pretty easy. updateCelestialMap() will have to be called from anything expecting the map to change on it's account. This is already done for camera movement and character movement.

Artifacts of three kinds (asteroid, planet, space station) are now visible on Celestial Map. The User Story is complete.
