After building 2 solar plants and one gas plant, the predicted energy bar did not fill at the end of the turn

You should only be able to build hydro in specific areas.

To finally be able to use all of the fancy energy grid simulation data.

The goal is to have events that are triggered at the end of each turn and effect specific aspects of the player's resources.

A detailed list of the shocks can be found on notion.

The goal is to make the current static UI dynamic. This means enabling all of the interactions as well as dynamic updates of the different fields in the UI, such as resource bars, info boxes, etc...

Sorry, I know how much you hate that nuclear plant already... ^^'

The goal is to model the impact certain decisions have on the people. This is done by managing the modelling metrics:

• Salary range: a fixed unit that shows the overall wealth your population has
• Energy stability: Models the frequency at which the population's energy demand is met.
• Energy Affordability: Models how affordable the current energy is. This becomes lower if there is a higher availability than demand.

All of these metrics are then put together into an overall "support" amount.

If there's a hydro plant in construction with 3 turns to wait and a new power plant is built, it lowers the wait time.

Some shocks only last one turn but some shocks have long-term effects

The goal is to be able to import energy from abroad in order to meet the current demand. This can be modeled as a percentage of the total energy demand, and will simply be a field inside of the overall energy management system. The idea is to have this increase every turn by a linear factor scaled by said percentage, such that the more we import, the more expensive it gets to import.

I'm gonna start by extracting all of the text to xml files, then work on translating stuff.

• Extract text to XML Files
• Read out XML Files to display the text generically
• Translate the text to French
• Translate the text to German
• Translate the text to Italian
• Give the user access to a language button somewhere

This is probably going to take a while to fully implement.

Even after the nuclear plant gets deactivated after a few turns, it continues to produce energy.

:'(

Right now, the energy bar only updates one turn after the power plants have been turned off.

We need an end screen after 2050 that lets the player know they've finished the game and gives them their stats and a score (TBD)

Everything is free 🤑

Right now, the production cost only appears after one turn.

The goal is to allow the player to be able to create new buildings such that:

• They are only placed in designated locations on the map
• Some buildings (such as the hydro-electric plant) can only be built at specific locations
• When a build button is clicked, it shows all available buildings that can be built

Buildings would be modeled using the following units:

• Pollution amount (can be negative)
• Land use amount (can increase over time if unit grows)
• Production cost (cost of keeping the unit active)
• Building cost (cost of creating the unit)

For the demo, we will allow for the following units to be built:

• Hydrolic power plant: Can only be built at specific locations, is a long term project that takes 5 turns (15 years) to complete, with a high building and production cost during the construction turns, but a very low production cost and high energy yield after the construction.
• Gas power plant: Causes a high amount of pollution, has a low construction cost, requires raw material imports which yield a production cost, produces the same amount of electricity year round.
• Solar power plant: Has a dynamic size that can be increased over time (varied building cost but low/no production cost), does not pollute, has a negative impact on land aesthetics and takes up a lot of space.
• Plant Trees: This uses up any build spot, but reduces the net pollution.

A full list of the available buildings can be found on notion.

some shock reactions affect the support, but the bar does not update yet

This will allow us to potentially fix the webgl export problem.

The goal is to model the impact that certain decisions would have on the environment. To do so we want to focus on:

• Total net pollution (some buildings generate pollution, some are neutral, and some reduce pollution)
• Total land use (all buildings take up space, some more that others, which has a negative impact on the environment).

A low environmental score (high pollution, high land use) will cause a higher amount of shocks to take place each turn. These can lead to difficulties such as droughts (less/no energy is produced by hydrollic plants), harsh winters or so on...
The goal is to reach net zero pollution by 2050.

The XML documents and the scene in Godot are ready.

The other hydraulic plants, waste and biomass, geothermal and hydrogen

Show on the power plant how much it produces in winter and summer

The power plants display the energy produced and the production costs but not the building cost which should be a separate label that only appears in the build menu.

The goal is to model all of the policies shown in the policy window.
This can only be done once all of the base-game stuff has been implemented so it will have to wait for now.

We want to have a cool stats screen at the end of the game. To do this, we need to record the evolution of the different stats at the end of each turn.

The model gives us data about the amount of energy produced per plant type.
We want energy per plant, so we need to gather statistics about the types of plants constructed.
This can simply be done by aggregate the powerplant types on demand or via a context object.

For example if we want to build something and are lacking money, we should have some form of feedback.
The idea is to lower the opacity of plants that are too expensive to build in the build menu.

The goal is to enable basic energy management, such that:

• There is an Energy Capacity that represents the theoretical maximum energy production given the current buildings.
• There is an Energy Availability that represents how much energy can be used right now, this is lower in the winter and higher in the summer
• There is an Energy Demand that represents how much energy is required to meet the usage of the population. The demand increases linearly each turn, and is higher in the winter and lower in the summer.

The goal is to have a turn based game loop which handles the updates of all of the elements in the game.

with a play button and a language selection button for now

The player should only be able to move on to the next turn once they reach the energy demand for winter and summer. (Might be good to have a debug checkbox so that we can test the game without this condition).

Remove the already build gas plant and add the existing power plants for the start of the game.

Currently, we are only initializing an instance in the model and gathering data from it, we aren't telling the model anything about our game's state. We can change this by enable the creation of events in the model to update the data.

Currently, all power plant configurations are done directly in the editor. The problem is that there are like 3 different copies of each plant across 3 different scenes, so it's super confusing to update.

As a solution, I propose centralizing the power plant config into an xml file in the db folder. This will make it so that changes only need to be made in a single place and will make UI debugging easier.

Need a delete button (x) on the newly built power plants to let the player undo the actions for the current turn, but once the next turn is started, the player can no longer delete the new plants (we could hide the x button). He cannot destroy a plant that has taken a few turn to be built but he can cancel it day 1.

Only once we click on the money tab, it switches to the selected language.

Right now, the cost only appears the next turn.

I think there's something wrong with E.DemandWinter in _ComputeImportAmount() in EnergyManager.cs
It also wasn't updating straightaway due to the predict in ResourceManager.cs

Add a line to the energy BarInfos with the projected supply

Still need to show some stats on the end screen and have it displayed in the chosen language.
The texts are ready in the labels.xml files

Demand should increase each turn, at different rates for winter and summer. Demand can also be influenced by shocks.

Right now, the player has to choose to build something to close the build menu.

If the player doesn't have internet access, use to original estimates rather than the model data.
