Weekly update MS04x03

I didn't do anything. And I am a little bit too tired to be ashamed ;)

At the moment, after coming back home, I am working as support service for our application which after around 10 hours a day makes me just want to walk the dog and go to sleep. And talk to my wife for a while.

I was thinking a lot about tasks for this Milestone. How to approach everything. What works for me, is to outline big picture and fill it with smaller things. And if something doesn't fit, I am not affraid to modify work already done, if it makes sense.

For this Milestone I planned three things:

1. Proper rendering/display system.
2. Different regions of world.
3. Travel system.

I want to focus first on rendering system but while this task seem to be obvious, I will give more details on how system will work while I will be working on it.

Different regions of world will be just barely touched, as I plan to develop this idea during MS6. While I have code to handle different regions, I don't have anything to describe them, so that's what will be done now. And some little code to generate random maps.

Travel system (and map) is something that I want to give more time, but now I'd like to focus on just creating stub that I will develop later. This stub will be just some mini-game (as I am working on Dragontorc remake, this will be probably something very similar to original Dragontorc game). When I will start working on UI, I will add map, so if game designer desires, locations may be accessed in random order by player (with some limitations), as opposed to travel from one point to other through different locations. Or it can be used for cities.
