 - [ ] Figure out how to integrate player movement with orbits instead of being separate modes of movement.
 - [ ] Figure out a concept of spheres of influence based on body mass.
 - [ ] Make finding a closest object BY sphere of influence so that orbits are a bit better instead of JUST distance. (Basically, it's higher mass reduces "distance" when sorting. Maybe just do `distance - mass` because that's a quick and dirty way to have something working. Except my mass values I think are very large, so maybe `radar_size` or something between is a better scaler. Although I want mass and size not directly related so it SHOULD be based on mass.)
+
+- [ ] Need to rewrite with very basic generation - 2/3 planets in random orbits that don't conflict.
