Project Hephaestus is named after the Greek god Hephaestus, who is known as a builder and smith. Taking inspiration from its namesake, this project is a game that will allow the player to harvest a myriad of resources from a procedurally generated world and craft items of various complexity. This game will include physics simulation for the crafted items, and the properties of the items themselves will be determined by the properties of the materials used to craft them.

While this game may seem silly and trivial, the ultimate goal is to use it to teach chemistry, physics, and both mechanical and electrical engineering concepts. Later milestones for the project include making the entire world interactive and simulated, not just the materials gathered and items created by the player.
