Skybox generator

[landauf]

Introduction ¶

Write a skybox generator to randomly create beautiful space environments (with nebulae, stars, planets, asteroids, supernovas, …)

Goal ¶

It must be possible to save and restore generated skyboxes, maybe an edit function could be useful too.

Implementation ¶

Think about different ways of bringing the skybox into the game (Create a texture set for a 6-sided skybox? Restore all elements in 3D? …) and physical issues (planets should be a 3D model, so save their position; stars cast light, we need them ingame).

Ogre has already skyboxes. Check that code out and think about a generator.

Look at other space shooters to get some inspiration.
