Skybox generator

[landauf]

Write a skybox generator to randomly create beautiful space environments (with nebulae, stars, planets, asteroids, supernovas, …). It must be possible to save and restore generated skyboxes, maybe an edit function could be usefull too.

Think about different ways of bringing the skybox into the game (Create a texture set for a 6-sided skybox? Restore all elements in 3D? …) and physical issues (planets should be a 3D model, so save their position; stars cast light, we need them ingame).

Look at other spaceshooters to get some inspiration.
