do I need to say anything? :)

+font rendering
- usefull for development and later on world administration
+ with background now being a thing, a padding might be nice

-font rendering
+ it may also be feasible to get rid of SDL_ttf and use freetype
+ directly to eliminate the unneccessary surface creation
+ ftgl might also be worth looking at
- mostly for labelled blocks and some ui elements

networking
mapping light levels to coordinates on that
also: how could block light affect entity lighting?
+ maybe get the interpolated light level at the entity's center and use
+ that as the light power for the directional lighting shader and use a
+ direction that's fixed relative to the camera?
+
+ there's a bug where a chunk's model is not updated if its neighbor
+ changes border light levels
+ I kinda mitigated it a little for direct neighbors during linking, but
+ it still can happen in (hopefully) rare corner cases
+
+ propagation through semi-filled blocks is wonky. I worked around it by
+ having the light propagate into solid blocks, but feels like this
+ could cause some weird behaviours
gravity
maybe like light levels? should also store a direction with it in
that case. also, global gravity may be a world option.
+ no, per-block gravity vector is most probably too expensive.
+ better have the chunks store a few point masses (maybe blocks that
+ emit gravitation?) and calculate from that
block attributes
maybe the chunk loader should keep an index of interesting, if not
all chunks by position, possibly base-relative
+ profiling indicates that this is not neccessary atm. maybe it will
+ when there's some more action in the world

transparency (blocks and entities)
transparent blocks because awesome
entity/world collision
- entities should be stopped from entering solid parts of the world
-
- also, current ray/obb intersection test sucks
+ first draft of entity/world collision is implemented
+ it jitters and has some surprising behaviour
+ finding a spawn point which doesn't put entities in solids is
+ now a little more crucial. press N if you're in trouble
better noise
