Gravity

Godot's Area3Ds support point & directional gravity

• Point gravity used for spherical planets
• 4 directional gravity areas surround walkway planets

What to do when Area3Ds overlap?

1. Priority System
2. Combine for a more realistic feel, a la Outer Wilds
3. Use the most recent area entered

GravityDecider does (3) for an arcade feel, a la Super Mario Galaxy

Improve

1. Erratic camera
2. Custom gravity shapes: cylinder, torus, cone.
3. Arbitrary blob planets that use closest normal vector for gravity?
