+# Dusk Roadmap
+
+Tracking upcoming milestones for the engine.
+
+## Upcoming milestones
+
+1. Add a very basic physics engine, moving away from the current
+   tile-based movement.
+2. Give entities full freedom of movement (no longer locked to tile
+   grid positions).
+3. Update entity interaction, triggers, chunk management, and other
+   systems that currently assume tile-based positioning so they work
+   with the new 3D positioning/movement code.
+4. Investigate and fix poor UI rendering performance. Rendering the
+   console alone tanks framerate despite the existing mesh
+   optimizations, so there is likely more headroom to find in the
+   vertex/text rendering path.
+5. Create UI elements for displaying status indicators, e.g. network
+   connection state and save-in-progress.
+6. Fully test saving end-to-end on all supported platforms.
+7. Remove the tile system from chunks in favor of meshes, with
+   dynamic hitboxes per chunk loaded in from the chunk file data.
+8. Create UI elements for network status: a connecting modal, an
+   error state, and a connected flag. Retire the test HTTP request
+   once these are in place.
+9. Build the socket server and client implementation, including
+   handlers for the different packet types.
+10. Add a dedicated multiplayer entity type, `clientplayer`, alongside
+    the existing `npc` and `player` types. Limit to 8 (defined
+    constant) for now.
+11. Send and receive `clientplayer` position over the network.
+12. Create a UI menu for creating a server and joining a server. For
+    now, join IPs are hard-coded (testing against a fixed IP of
+    10.0.0.94).
+13. Create "handshake" packets. For now, just send the username,
+    enforced to be under 10 characters long.
+14. Server tracks all players' positions and broadcasts them to all
+    connected clients.
+15. Server sends disconnect packets for users who leave.
+16. Server assigns each client a UUID; all clients know every other
+    client's UUID (used to reference them across position updates,
+    disconnect packets, etc).
+17. Server notifies all clients (by UUID) when a user joins, leaves,
+    or is disconnected, so clients can spawn or remove the
+    corresponding `clientplayer` entity in the world.
+
+## Principles
+
+- Never trust the network implicitly. Neither side (server or client)
+  should assume the other's packets are well-formed or benign --
+  validate all incoming packet data defensively, since either side
+  may send garbage or malicious data. Use `errorret_t` /
+  `errorThrow()` for these runtime checks, not assert macros --
+  asserts are debug-only and won't guard release builds against
+  malformed or malicious packet data.
