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](https://arcade.makecode.com/S18484-35403-98573-52605) Alpha 1.1 (Sun) - [https://arcade.makecode.com/S74373-25153-17861-03095](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. -ILikeOuterSpace ---

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. ---

I can try to make collisions ---

That’d be great if you could! Also, I meant solid collisions, just to clear up any miscommunication. ---

You can check if you are coliding like this: dx = rocket x - planet x dy = rocket y - planet x If (dx × dx) + (dy × dy) \< radius × radius: Destroy rocket Because its a tiny rocket with no landing gear, i think you can just delete the rocket when it crashes on a planet Also, spheres of influences are quite complicated, so it will be easier and probably better to just simulate gravity of all the celestial bodies at the same time
