#
|
|
# get_windfield to get the current wind in the tile

|
|
# convective_loop to regularly recreate convective clouds
|
|
# generate_quadtree_structure to generate a quadtree data structure used for managing the visual field
|
|
# sort_into_quadtree to sort objects into a quadtree structure
|
|
# sorting_recursion to recursively sort into a quadree (helper)
|
|
# quadtree_recursion to search the quadtree for objects in the visual field
|
|
# check_visibility to check if a quadrant is currently visible
|
|
