Howdy!
Coming in hot is v0.2.0 - a minor update with a major change–see below for the full changelog! I initially wanted to take my time with this update and add a bunch of important features, but after seeing how cool the changes were shaping up to be I couldn't wait, so here it is!
The major change is line variation. This is a pretty crucial feature as it allows you to turn off orbit lines for individual orbits. In many maps of this style, I've seen moons represented without the orbit lines and as just dots beside the planet. Now that style choice is officially supported
I've also updated the eccentric orbit code. I had to learn a lot of math for this so I hope its worth it.
Next on the docket will be some changes to the underlying code which will facilitate nicer randomization and better UI. To make sure next update isn't totally boring, let me know which of the following features you'd like to see next either in a comment or on twitter
Thanks again for all the support. I hope you enjoy this version!
This is the first minor update for v0. There have been some minor technical changes, so if you experience any bugs, please report them.
You can now customize the line style of each orbit! Select from the following:
