Not really a game, more of a unrealistic orbit-simulator made in Elm.
The initial version was made on my flight home from #socratesUK 2016.
Get Elm 0.17, then:
elm package install -y
elm-reactor
And visit http://localhost:8000/Main.elm.
This will create a "index.html" containing all the needed javascript. You also need the images in textures/.
elm make Main.elm
If I get around to it I'd like to...
- Get orbits to work when more planets have gravity
- Orient the planets toward the sun at all times so that the textures match
- Stable orbital physics. Probably slower orbits, but be able to speed up time to debug.
- Twinkling stars.
- Merge this into my other game (adds player code, moving perspective, hot code swapping, etc)
- Step1: Copy the star field, make it scroll.
Textures are from "planets16.zip", CC-BY-SA licence by Viktor.Hahn@web.de. Comes from http://opengameart.org/content/16-planet-sprites.
