Item evolution

[Philippe Tetar]

The recent activity of the project (thanks Uneron!) make me motivated to develop my ideas about items. Currently, the system of base item is really limited. I think a lot of things can be improved. So, I write a litte roadmap to plan my future modification and discuss about it.

General

TODO - Include item pane in a scroll widget/list widget.

=> Allow more 4 item type.

=> Allow more than 1 item per type.

TODO - List pane for cpu item + intern modification for list of cpu.

=> cpu can have differents items, ie one per class.

=> example: 5 cluster + 20 server.

DONE - Use a slider in item build dialog.

=> Avoid the input dialog after choose the item to build.

DONE - Use differents sizes for cpu.

=> A cluster don't use the same place than a PC.

TODO - Data file for item type.

=> Item type define in a data file.

=> You can define additional item type.

TODO - Custom data type for base class.

=> You can define the item type available for a base.

=> Need a usercase 

Power supply (partially independant of general)

TODO - Implement power need of cpu.

=> Each computer need power.

=> The power is taken from the power grid.

TODO - Implement power supply of reactor.

=> Each reactor provide power.

TODO - Use power grid increase discovery.

=> Formula to find.

(after different size for cpu)

TODO - Use differents sizes for reactor.

=> You can have more one reactor.

=> Reactor cost place with cpu.

TODO - Only urban location can use power grid

Build&Transfer (after general, provisional)

TODO - Implement a way to transfer item

TODO - Implement a way to stock item

TODO - Implement a way to build item

Others (can be implemented anytime):

DONE - Dehardcode list of locations (pop).

DONE - Implement a physics size instead of slot.

=> Example: 0.2m for a slot.

But there are no commits since May. I wonder if he will join us at github? :) (please do!!)

These are all great! Does this mean you plan on coding on the project some more? :) Awesome!

Where are you commiting these changes? Want to follow it!

I'll keep track of this topic!
