Processes

Main thread: communicates between threads, renders UI
Game thread: runs simulation
World thread: handles pathfinding requests
Generator thread:
world generator
region generator

World Editor

3 Steps, each with 2 columns Left: form showing config for this step Right: PixiJS Viewport showing map
- option for viewing in full screen modal
Generating one step throws away all previous steps
Each step depends on the previous steps

Steps and config:

Terrain - width & height - world shape - roughness (dropdown) - world shape power (0 to 5)
Temperature - temperature range - elevation cooling amount
Water - sealevel (0 to 255) - moistureModifier (0 to 1) - depressionFillPercent (0 to 1) - riverThreshold (0 to 1) (0 to 1)
Biomes -

World generator TODO

monthly temperatures for each cell
- using insolation formula?
wrap edges of map
simulating rainfall (depressions being lakes?)
3D map viewer?

Climate simulation

Planet model:
- mass
- diameter
- axial tilt
Steps:
- For each cell:
  - calculate insolation (input), and radiance (output)
  - calculate temperature
  - spread temperature to neighboring cells
