Project MightySpud is going to be a partial game setup that implements the space-to-ground-to-space movement of games like Kerbal Space Program or No Man's Sky. During the course of the project, we will be implementing these features:

• Generating Terrain from a heightmap image. This will be a pre-existing image (topography of the actual moon), but there is no reason that the texture could not also be procedurally generated. Techniques for this will be discussed.
• Spawning structures and other terrain features on the landscape using an additional structure image map.
• Converting from space coordinates to spherical coordinates to flat-local coordinates and back.
• Transitioning from a space view where a planet is a textured sphere to a land view where the landscape is a terrain object.
• And more!

While this will be a standalone projects for simplicity and clarity, there is nothing stopping you from intergrating features that we developed in Project SpaceCube or even the Procedurally-Generated Galaxy tutorial.

You can download the episode-by-episode version of the project from the RELEASES page -- or stay synced it through normal Git processes (clone/pull/fork/etc...)
