Description changed by youngk:

Old description:

> Create a star consisting of:
>  * A 3-D model with clipping
>  * A nice beautiful texture
>  * Maybe sounds? (Remember: The Orxonox universe is filled with air!)
>  * The use of shaders for brightness representation
>  * The use of particle effects for the corona
>  * The use of force fields (radial, already present) for the
> gravitational pull
>
> The Sun (Please download the file, for only then can you see the extreme
> detail!)

New description:

 = Create a star consisting of =
  * A 3-D model with clipping
  * A nice beautiful texture
  * Maybe sounds? (Remember: The Orxonox universe is filled with air!)
  * The use of shaders for brightness representation
  * The use of particle effects for the corona
  * The use of force fields (radial, already present) for the gravitational
 pull

 == So Far ==
  * Implemented Newtonian gravitation
  * Collision Shapes for Planets

 == Notes ==
  * [http://sponeil.net/downloads.htm] contains source code for atmospheric
 shaders
  * The paper [http://www.vis.uni-
 stuttgart.de/~schafhts/HomePage/pubs/wscg07-schafhitzel.pdf "Schafhitzel
 et al." ] documents an efficient way of creating an atmospheric shader for
 real-time applications.

 The Sun (Please download the file, for only then can you see the extreme
 detail!)
