Tiny Solar System Gravitational Capture - Kobold Engine
2024-02: Tiny Solar System Gravitational Capture
I added a star to the solar system, and flying around a planet results in gravitational capture when close enough. This means that the spaceship effectively enters geostationary orbit, and any manoeuvres are relative to the planet rather than absolute coordinates.
This is part of my iPad Playgrounds project which is growing from a Metal renderer to the beginnings of a game, with models made in Blender.
