Real Gravity Rocket Game

I made a game called MakeCode Space Program (Inspired by KSP), in which you fly around and do stuff. The first version was just basic controls, no bodies, but in the next update I added a sun with gravity! Working gravity!

If you wanna test it out for yourself here’s the link:

Alpha 1.0 (Empty Space) - https://arcade.makecode.com/S18484-35403-98573-52605

Alpha 1.1 (Sun) - https://arcade.makecode.com/S74373-25153-17861-03095

Although version alpha 1.1 has a bug where if you get to close to the star, known as Begoo, you get slingshot to the edge of the map. This would be fixed if i could figure out a way to add collision, but until then, I have no fix.

I plan to add a planet in the next update, I know how, I just don’t want to spend the time to do it.

Here’s the solar system I plan to add:

Star - Begoo

1st Planet - Mor - Mercury equivalent

2nd Planet - Utao - Earth equivalent

3rd Planet - Sput - Mars equivalent

4th Planet - Jamow - Ice Giant

5th Planet - Deego - Gas Giant - Yellow & Brown

6th Planet - Mep-101 - Gas Giant - Blue & Orange

I hope to add more cool things like sphere of influences, and maybe a mini map or a trajectory line.

If you have any idea how to add collision or any of the things mentioned, please let me know.

Thanks for your time.

Looks like this could be a great game when its finished! You can check if something is coliding with a circular planet by checking

If ((rocketX - planetX) ** 2) + ((rocketY - planetY) < planet radius ** 2

Would you like to collab?

You should add a way to slow down or go backwards, maybe a story or some kind of optional gameplay to do instead of just flying around.

There is a way to turn slow down, it’s by turning around.
