Flight/Space? #51

Open pmcfadden opened 7 years ago

pmcfadden commented 7 years ago

I'm thinking of trying to add either space flight or just world flight. Thoughts?

hammerdr commented 7 years ago

Ohhh... fancy. How would it work?

pmcfadden commented 7 years ago

Looking at the swr codebase....very complicated like haha. I think the basics would be space is a giant area (or maybe in our case room?) Though we need to track x,y,z coords of everything/everybody. It might be fairly useless for awhile though :-/ We might need something like zones or areas (or planets) first. Skip the space part and then add in that and flight later

Would we want something like orbital mechanics? Or is that just too complicated?

pmcfadden commented 7 years ago

So maybe eventually. I feel like the swr mud had ships orbitting planets, but really once they were orbiting they were stationary at a certain point or something. I wouldn't want to mess with actually orbiting, decay, collisions for awhile
