I had heaps of fun playing with this... i kind of wish it were more "zoomed out" to see a bigger picture. I spent ages trying to get something in orbit (because my game was about getting something in orbit!) - is it possible?
@mrspeaker, Thanks for playing. You definitely can get things into a stable orbit, but it's really hard because all the planets have a pull on each projectile, and because the gravitational pull of a planet changes as each projectile hits.
My original goal was to create a worms-type game but with orbital mechanics, so had I pulled that off (instead of creating a physics sandbox), the difficulty of getting projectiles into orbit would've probably been beneficial.
Awesome name :'D This is an interesting sandbox that could be great in a worms-like game (as you mentioned). Unfortunately, it didn't really deliver any engaging gameplay.
Interesting experiment, it could be nice to add some real gameplay into it, as it's a great base for something more, hope you'd have the opportunity to take it further.
Cool tech demo but you forgot to include a game with it. Could work as a Scorched Earth type game. All you need is piece of tape on screen for each player and some manual rules enforcement ;)
