How do rocket scientists make sure a space mission is successful?
They planet!

Welcome to tsjost's space program where you'll be in charge of successfully – hopefully – mounting your own space missions!

Features:

• Directly control a spacecraft and explore different celestial bodies
• Realistic n-body gravitation
• Physically stable time acceleration
• Built with in-house engine in C++ with OpenGL

This tech demo has been built to test the capabilities of the engine and make sure everything works properly and remains accurate & stable on interplanetary scales. Coming up next will be actual gameplay features!

Planned features:

• Atmosphere & aerodynamic effects
• Construct your own crafts, satellites, probes, rovers, and whatnot
• Disembark and explore planets on foot
• Hardcore mode
  • Write code to allow your vehicles to function autonomously
  • Interface with sensors, cameras, and the like in your code to gather telemetry to take action on & send back to mission control
  • Code what telemetry to receive and display on the monitors in front of your comfy chair in the mission control room
  • Antennas, signal delay, line of sight, etc
• VR
• Multiplayer?
