Your data files are gonna be humongous! Have you got one of those new
23 Gig hard drives on your machine? I think you'd want to do all of
your arrays as sparse arrays - only those that cannot be algorithmically
generated are present at all.
There has been discussion of these issues before, and a couple of people
are doing experiments, I believe. I'm a fan of a full fractal world, with
specifically stored exceptions, myself. Work on it suspended a couple of
months ago as I implemented a byte-code system to make it go faster, and
then moved over to a new architecture/OS.
