• Animation Player to display explosions…
• Particle Engine to calculate big explosions - really fancy stuff
• Sky Box to display the sky around our world
• HUD to display and design a Heads Up Display
• SoundEngine to make the choir of angels sing
• Clipping/Culling to draw nothing, that we aren't looking at right now - implement it in c++, octrees etc.
• shooting reimplementation
