Description of how the plant-life changes graphically in the environment.

Description

There will be plant life in most biomes, but how exactly this will show depends on the LifeCondition variable (see BLifeCondition design document).

Dimensions


 * As there will be plants in most places in the environment, this will affect the entire game’s background, both 2D and 3D.

Functionality:


 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#ffffff;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The LifeCondition variable is generally a value between 0-1. The plant-life will depend on what this value is, and change according to certain thresholds.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#ffffff;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">However, the plant life in the Ice biome will depend on the ArcticCondition variable in LifeCondition instead (See BLifeCondition document)
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#ffffff;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The state of the plants are defined with two numbers: An amount, and their lifecondition, defined by the LifeCondition or ArcticCondition variable.


 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#ffffff;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The number of plants is fixed throughout the game, but their states will change. This is done by defining a spot for a certain plant, and changing the aesthetics of the plant in that spot depending on the states described below. That way, the plant amount always stays the same, but they might change over the course of the game, depending on LifeCondition.
 * <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#ffffff;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">In each state, it is also defined whether the grass is green or dry.
