 Write a skybox generator to randomly create beautiful space environments
 (with nebulae, stars, planets, asteroids, supernovas, ...)

 == Goal ==

 It must be possible to save and restore generated skyboxes, maybe an edit
 function could be useful too.

 == Implementation ==

 Think about different ways of bringing the skybox into the game (Create a
 texture set for a 6-sided skybox? Restore all elements in 3D? ...) and
 physical issues (planets should be a 3D model, so save their position;
 stars cast light, we need them ingame).

 Ogre has already skyboxes. Check that code out and think about a
 generator.

 Look at other space shooters to get some inspiration.
