| | 3 | Steps: |
| | 4 | - Understand how the BigExplosion class works. |
| | 5 | - Improve it |
| | 6 | - Design some simple explosion chunks in Blender |
| | 7 | - Create a possibility to define in XML something like: "If this spaceship is destroyed create a BigExplosion with 5 explosion chunks of type xy." |
