Hi again,
I've found this http://duktape.org/ minimal js engine it seems to be a
perfect
candidate to use given that it can be integrated only adding a single .c
source
file and a header and it's actively developed even not having a JIT
engine like V8
I think it's a good choice.

One concern to care about in order to choose a set of libraries is to

try to reduce them as much as possible.
Each new library that CS depends on can cause troubles, either in order
to be incorporated within the cswinlibs packages, or for the Unix users
that would need to install them manually.
The active support for the library is important too. v8rocket is
probably to be avoided in that sense, although v8 is a very good
candidate.
- use v8 and base your code on the one made in v8rocket.
- when using v8, try to make your code depending on it only optionally,
so that if the library is not found, then the rocket GUI would still be
available, but with limited functionalities.

<div dir="ltr">Hello all ! My name is Soumitra Saxena. I'm in my prefinal year , studying Electronics Engineering at the Birla Institute of Technology and Sciences , Pilani , India. I've taken a keen interest in Computer Graphics/OpenGL for the last 2 semesters and am very excited to apply for GSOC under Crystal Space. 
 Basic Terrain Generation has been a project of mine , both at a personal (<a href="https://medium.com/code-adventures/cccf50e961a9" target="_blank" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">https://medium.com/code-adventures/cccf50e961a9</a>) and academic level. I've also tried my hands on a basic planet generation using terrain maps (<a href="https://medium.com/code-adventures/9df442973626" target="_blank" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">https://medium.com/code-adventures/9df442973626</a>). 
  I've also done a bit of scripting and GUI implementation in Maya (toolkit for Cloud Generation) 
 A GUI Editor for Terrain seems to be a fantastic addition to the Crystal Space interface. I thought of a rough prototype for a GUI Editor. Here is the rough map -   
 <div class="gmail_extra" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">A GUI Editor for Terrain -  

A 3D GUI Editor for Terrain , based on the flexibilities provided by the cseditor framework. Modelled on Maya’s Editor for Fluids and Terrain (kind of) . Single iSpace with panels containing  the Tools. Add flexibilities like toggle wireframe/textured , rotation , zoom , viewcube etc. Can even add quick view options like Isometric and Orthographic angles. The following tools can be provided for improved functionality , leveraging Crystal Space’s terrain handling libraries. We are basically making an interface so that a new user feels comfortable with terrain generation and does not have to worry about the pipeline behind it :
 Tools to be implemented in the panels : 
 1. Generate Mesh tool :
 a.Set number of cells and size of mesh.
 b.Generate Flat Terrain with standard material and proceed to Edit it using the Terrain Edit Tools.
 c. Set Properties like Max Height  , Mean height , Median height.
 d. Preloaded presets - Desert , Grassland , Ice 
 2. Generate Terrain tool:
 a. Load Heightmap and generate terrain , save values in the mesh to edit later.
 b. Set values like Max Height , weight and Resolution. 
 3. Material Properties :
 a. Set attributes like Material Color , Material Type ( Phong , Blinn etc)
 4..Edit Mesh tool :
 a. Selectable points in the mesh using Mouse pointer . On click , 3D Transformation tool appears , user can use deformations. Add option of toggling off texture (display wireframe).
 5. Paint Terrain tool :
 a. Splatting Textures - Select a splatting texture from a list of textures. Mouse cursor changes into the type of texture. Paint over the standard texture with the chosen texture.
 b. Choose from a variety of colors , terrain presets ( dust , grass , ice).
 6. Add Object Tool (maybe):
 a.
