The original idea was to project the world (3D) unto a text panel (2D), and use this in the respawn ship on my dedicated server if I ever decided to set one up. This way new players could get an image of how the world was laid out, and where to find what.

The first thing on my mind once I have an idea is "How can I best automate this as much as possible?" Since the programmable block does not have access to world information such as planet coordinates, names, sizes, etc, I was thinking of adding a way for players to add planets themselves using a camera to cast rays at the individual planets. I scrapped this idea, because it added a whole new level of complexity to the script that was more annoying than fun. It certainly wasn't automation, or dynamic.

The only way to truly make this automated is to develop the script not as an in-game script but as a mod, which is not something that I want to do. Anyony who wants to turn this in-game script into a full-blown mod, however, are more than welcome to do that.

I was only recently let in on the fact that MyIni was added to the programmable block. When I say recently, I mean prior to publishing the script. I went ahead and published it anyway, because I don't want to deal with string formatting right now, and because I was afraid that this script would end up in my junkpile of unfinished scripts.

Strikethrough means that it is completed (on my end), but not published (your end).

• Do additional testing to make sure nothing is glitching.
  
• Make arguments for buttons to zoom and offset map, and display moons.
  
• Push the project to GitHub.
