Movement of the satellites is controlled by paths. When I made the paths I didn't know how to \"code\" them in so I made them by hand. So one ring is 8 differend paths so I didn't have time to make more.\n\n2. Satellites crashing in orbit was a bug a thought I fixed. :\/ I think the reason for random explosion still happening is due to rotation of the satellites. When the satellites spin around them selfs their hitboxes rotate too. And sometimes if the satellites are really close to each other their hitboxes collide.\n\nThanks for asking those questions it was fun to answer them. :D","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"oskarOlausson","author_uid":"1000958","time":"2018-08-16T12:00:10Z","epoch":1534420810,"modified":1534422256,"text":"Ah cool, orbiting code is actually pretty easy (and you can just skip collision detection between two things thats already is in orbit).\n\nCode for the orbit is something like \n\nangle += speedOfSatellite; \/\/(in radians or degrees)\n\nx = planetCenterX + cos(angle) \\* distance_to_planet;\n\ny = planetCenterY + sin(angle) \\* distance_to_planet;\n\n(I am telling you this because I hope you continue on the game :smile:)\n","likes":3,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Gleb Shishov","author_uid":"1007879","time":"2018-08-16T12:36:29Z","epoch":1534422989,"modified":1534422989,"text":"\nvery interesting idea, I like the dynamics of the gameplay and complexity.
