Fly your ship home in this 3 degree of freedom simulator. You must be moving slowly when you land with your engine off (you will be alerted if you win). Up/Down arrow keys used for main thrust Left/Right arrow keys used for steering 3 Difficulties: - Easy - Left/Right arrow keys instantly change your orientation - Medium - Left/Right arrow keys fire lateral thrusters. The onboard control system arrests your angular rate with reverse thrusters. - Hard - Left/Right arrow keys fire lateral thrusters (full manual control) This game is purposely frustrating and demonstrates how complicated it can be to rendezvous in orbit using manual thrust controls and a real physics engine. Just enjoy flying around and observing how the controls maneuver your vehicle in space.
First family project (that Dad took over), using default sprites and code elements with the kids...enjoy. I've made several modifications to improve the timing using event data. I've also noticed the sensitivity varies with browsers/pc, so I may need to add a gain knob on the game.
