+## Tasks
+I don't feel comfortable using an issue tracker for this project right now,
+because of the possibility of losing that data or it not being kept *with* the
+code, so issues are being tracked *in* the repo - here.

+- [ ] Add a test moon to verify nested orbits work.
+- [ ] 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.)
