Having an axial tilt sounds like it would be useful, and we could have it default to whatever earth's axial tilt is if nothing is wired in? Or if it's a slider, have that be the default value.

Apart from that, well I mean... I don't know the first thing about lat/long, times, and how it all combines to produce a sun angle in the sky. So I'd definitely want simple date/time, and lat/long inputs. Then whether it's a simple addition, or some complex algebra or trig... I don't need to care about any of that for it all to work properly. I think that's the aim of Dreams in general... give the creators easy to understand tools, and let the engine worry about the implementation and how to calculate stuff. I don't think putting that on the creators would be a good move; you'd be fine obviously but I'd be lost.

I couldn't understand the steps you gave, so I can't comment on them. (An example of how confused I would be if I had to do any of this stuff by myself. XD)
