-       finding a spawn point which doesn't put entities in solids is

+spawning
+
+       need a way to find a suitable location to spawn new players in
+       I imagine a "random block" function of ChunkIndex could be nice
+       (also for use with the AI spawner)
+       also, finding a spawn position for a player must no fail. after a
+       certain number of tries, the world must change to safely accomodate
+       the player.
+       chunk generation could be adjusted to make a little more room near the
+       origin (since that's where the usual spawn point will be), but that's
+       not strictly necessary and might overcomplicate the generation
+       if all fails, the spawner has to modify the world
+       how much space has to be cleared and how to make sure the spawning
+       space connects to "open space" I don't know yet, it's all a little
+       fuzzy anyway
