QOL Features

[willjallen]

There are a number of low-hanging quality-of-life improvements that mostly affect the UI and not core gameplay. I will keep this issue as a living list for these types of features, and mark them off as they are completed.

Simulation Parameters:

• [ ] Sliders should show current, original and game default values as a visual cue.

Zones:

• [x] Name zones (#95)
• [x] Reorder zone tabs (#95)
• [ ] Disable/enable them (instead of deleting)
• [ ] Select, move and resize zones with mouse
• [ ] Duplicate selected zones with ctrl+c, ctrl+v (also in simulation parameters window)

Radiation Sources:

• [ ] Name sources
• [ ] Disable/enable them (instead of deleting)
• [ ] Select, move and resize sources with mouse
• [ ] Duplicate selected sources with ctrl+c, ctrl+v (also in radiation sources window)
• [ ] Adjust relative contribution of source from total incoming energy

Genome Editor:

• [ ] Genome names should appear in Genome Editor

Browser:

• [ ] Locks up the game when performing actions, this should be offloaded to another thread
• [ ] Rearrange files inside folder by dragging and dropping
• [x] Ability to update existing simulation instead of deleting and reuploading (chrxh@01bf355f30aa8cc519c5e16bff5eb83623f44a03)
• [ ] Symbols such as -> < > get converted to &gt etc.

CLI:

• [ ] API for inter-process communication (allows varying parameters programmatically in Realtime without saving and reloading)
• [ ] Webui or other display server for remote viewing

General:

• [ ] Built-in support for creating timelapses

Thanks for the list! There are some new features haven't thought about that (mentioned in Zones/Radiation Sources). Updating existing sims and an asynchronous network communication are already on my todo list. I have postponed the latter point because the effort involved exceeds the benefit (in my opinion). However, in the long-term, I'm considering introducing preview images for simulations. But then at the latest it would be necessary to use an asynchronous communication.

Sounds great! I'll see if I can knock out a few of the easier ones like names sometime soon.
