Lights should be flickering with varied intensity

• Check more varied intensities to see if they're actually not changing.

Crashes prevent the logger from correctly closing the log file causing it get deleted.

Allow user to reconfigure any gui element (maybe if they're a container or absolute positioning)

• configuration saved in user preferences?

Use a single occlusion map per floor and crop it accordingly for each light.

Load GUI assets (and many common game assets) on game start and pre-load other required game assets on map load (maybe fade to then from black between levels).

Sounds to be played randomly to create an appropriate ambient environments.

• More structured, room based, generation
  • Use pathfinding to find connections between doors.
• Walls should only be rendered for wall tiles immediately above floor tiles.
• Determine 'room' from given tile
• (optional) alternate floor tree (multiple staircases - follows own unique path / syncs up with main path / dead end)

generation phases

• blank grid
• generate rooms
  • rooms should be surrounded with a 'blocked' tiles to keeps paths from intersecting them.
  • Generate entrance / subroom nodes
  • plus secret, not-directly accessible rooms
  • plus detailing (lights, furnishing, items)
• generate room associations
• connect rooms and node graphs

...

Create a graph for faster path finding

• Floors should contain rooms (groups of tiles)
• Floor should be able to find the associated room given a tile (maybe store room in tile)
• Rooms should be connected to construct a node graph suitable for path finding

• On Cast
• While Moving (looping sound)
• On Impact
• On Dying (optional fading-out sound)

Rework GUI

• GUI elements should flexible and correctly fit/arrange themselves
• GUI elements should support more rendering options

Lights are spawning in walls, rendering them useless and wasting processing time.

• May be spawning ON walls which will be ok after tiles/gameobjects start using a shadow texture for occlpusionmap generation

Globally increase or decrease lighting.
Problem: not sure how this could Abe applied to NPCs.

Improve setup steps with more accurate gradle steps.

GUI for player inventory

• Store / drop / use / consume items found while playing

Looping sound for player / other humanoid actors

Instructions unclear / useless

• ReadMe does not accurately describe how to setup project.
• Remove eclipse project files from repo

GUI elements need an absolution positioning option that keeps them from resizing when their parent resizes.

• Primarily used for in-game GUI HUD (healthbar, manabar, exp, etc)

Menu for changing user settings

Texture color is correctly 'lit' but shadows are not applied.
Currently seems to only happen on AMD GPU's

• Add logging/checks for shader compile and loading.

• (Optional) While Channeling (looping)
• On Cast
• On Removal (lingering / fading sound)

GameObjects should have an optional texture for generating shadowmaps.

GUI showing characters stats

• Assigning/spending attribute points

GUI for paused game

Maintain all sounds in a central file instead of hard coding strings throughout the app.

• Makes it easy to change sounds / find references

• footsteps

• ambient music

• ambient sounds

The GUI/HUD for in-game needs to be created

Add light maps / shadows to lighting engine

Settings Manager for saving/loading user settings.

• Settings should have default values
• Defaults are saved/loaded if settings file isn't found.
