grav2ty :rocket:

the most realistic asteroids-like game in existence.

controls

• up/down: increase/decrease thruster power (ship acceleration)
• left/right: rotate ship (counter)-clockwise
• c: toggle centered view
• +/-: zoom in/out
• space: fire a projectile

roadmap

• simulation of gravity
• controllable spaceship
• collision detection
• make measurements more realistic
• allow for zooming the viewport
• time scaling / fast forward
• performance improvements
  • simplify RelGraph (ordered tuples as keys)
  • don't calculate gravity to every little object
  • don't do collision detection at a safe distance
• multi player support
  • Spawn ships for players
  • Support players disconnecting, timing out
  • Implement client
  • Simulate in client
• switch rendering engine
  • only redraw if necessary
  • trajectory smoothing?
  • cosmetics (improved models, stars, …)
  • Introduce a good HUD
  • main menu, pause menu
  • Free viewport (mouse moved)
• gameplay
  • limit acceleration, fuel?
  • projectiles
    • Limit firerate
    • make projectiles self-destruct
    • reduce redundancy in projectile (cannon + object)
  • mapping support
• orbit visualization / prediction
