BUGS

• derivative normals are not correct
  • i think it's a problem with the direction of the noise
• headless mode renders no light when using derivative normals

TO-DO

• refactor noise.glsl to use vectors
• improve parameter randomization
• remove "gl-matrix.js" depedency
• matcap texture?
• render rivers (how?)
• render rings
• render gas giants (only clouds?)
• render liquid giants (only ocean?)
• add UI controls (mobile first?)
• add mouse control do rotate the planet
• add more noise algorithms
  • fbm wave modifiers
  • generators
  • selectors
  • modifiers
  • fortune's algorithm
• import/export current seed, parameters and modules
• animated 2D visualizer
• post processing
  • bloom
  • blur
  • etc

EXTRA

• generate procedural audio
• upload custom parameters
  • heightmap
  • gradient

OUT OF SCOPE (for now)

• render a solar system
  • one or more stars
  • one or more planets
  • one or more moons
• render celestial bodies (black holes, quazars, nebulas, etc.)
• render a galaxy
• render a universe
• simulate the ocean tide being affected by the gravity of the moon
