• using assets from this bundle as stubs https://gamesupply.itch.io/cars-and-trucks
• grass https://naldzgraphics.net/free-seamless-grass-textures/
• map landmarks https://www.uidownload.com/en/vector-jkmmc
• water https://www.sketchuptextureclub.com/textures/nature-elements/water/sea-water

• road segment drawing action and visuals

• make cars move toward simple destinations

• detect proximity of other cars ahead and stop

• extrapolate graph from intersection of roads

• apply Dijkstra shortest path and tag segments accordingly

• add sources and destinations to the map

• make cars spawn from sources (and not on top of other cars)

• make cars die on destinations

• new cars shouldn't spawn on top of other cars

• draw origins and destinations with location name signs

• avoid strokes over obstacle

• aux vis: display connected roads

• accelerate time

• detect traffic jam

• support ramps and multiple layers

• add obstacles - passable (over water) and blocking (buildings)

• basic undo support

• delete closest road

• delete orphan segments

• merge close-enough vertices

• reuse existing vertices at stroke start

• basic event sounds

• engine + environmental sounds

• good looking cars

• particle effects (smoke on new ramps, something on new roads or deletions, haze for new segments being driven?)

• basic shadows between layers?

• level editor

• procedural level generation?
