Regarding android, it might be. It’s not a problem to build it for a particular target platform. However, a big concern is the touch screen controls. In this game there are over 10 inputs one has to use all the time.

As for features, do you mean bend because of heat or air drag? Honestly, I didn’t currently consider these as super top priority. But, if there is a good argument of this being necessary, I don’t see why not.

This is the case.

May be one more thing is that there isn’t seem to be much interest in the game overall.

The URL to the source code and documentation are specified in the in-game wiki. So, theoretically anybody can make changes or add features, especially nowadays with the help of AI.

It is a little bit on hold. The Godot game engine undergoes massive changes which required me to make a custom physivs plugin. They also rework the underlying structure. I got a little bit overwhelmed refreshing all the bindings each time a change occurs in the game engine.

Apologies, it was a joke referencing Adeptus Mechanicus.

Good job releasing the new game!

Yes, the flesh is weak. Praise the Omnissiah! Please your PC’s machine spirit!

But seriously, it’s almost exactly like Python, very-very easy to start!

Celestial bodies are defined in GD-script in the game code. Each has a signed distance field based surface shape, function-defined color texture, and defined orbital elements. See the in-gamw wiki for the github url with the game code.

Yes, I’ll do my best!

Thanks for the hint!

Hello! 

Thank you for reporting the bug! Would you please post a screenshot of what it looks like so that I have something wo start debugging with?

Thank you!

Hello!

I'm sorry, I'm not a big expert in Godot settings. I usually just click "Project"->"Export"->"Export PCK/ZIP" button and it does its magic.

I'm sorry, I never used that tool.

Hello!

Ah, sorry! Wiki files are not displayed in Godot3 editor due to "wiki" extension. Or at least I don't know how to make them visible. In order to edit them, it is necessary to use an external text editor, see example image attached.

In Godot4 editor it is possible to add "wiki" extension in "editor settings/Docks/FileSystem/TextFile Extensions". But it is only for "dev" branch for now. Sorry for inconvenience!

Hello!

Wiki files are in /ignition/wiki folder. Probably, the best example to follow would be /ignition/wiki/root.wiki file. It has text, images, links to other wiki pages, and web links.

Actually, I have an idea. Do you think it might be useful to place the game editing instructions (all above text) right into the game wiki?

Hello, 

I'm sorry for a confusion! 

Assuming you've checked out ignition.git repository, /ignition folder is a Godot game project folder with assets, scenes, gd-scripts. But in order to open it successfully, it is necessary to have a matching Godot binary. You may use a prebuilt Godot binaries.

For "v0.1.0"

> git checkout v0.1.0 -f

> use https://github.com/z80/ignition/releases/download/v0.1.0/godot_and_ignition-v0.1... Godot binary.

> in Godot window click "import" and browse to /ignition/project.godot.

For "dev" branch

git checkout dev -f

> use https://github.com/z80/ignition/releases/download/godot_4.1.2_stable_960ccf8fe9/.... Godot binary.

> in Godot window click "import" and browse to /ignition/project.godot.

Alternatively, you need to build a matching Godot binary from sources. As an example, these steps may cause success:

open "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for Visual Studio" (a terminal window)

> cd <folder where you want the project to reside>

> git clone git@github.com:z80/ignition.git ./

> cd ./godot

> git checkout v0.1.0 -f

> scons target=release_debug tools=yes -j8

> cd ./bin

> ./godot.windows.opt.tools.64.exe

in Godot window click "import" 

browse to /ignition/project.godot file

click "open"

Please let me know if you encounter any issues.

Hello!

I feel that the main problem on the way of changing the game sources might be that the game uses a custom binary module which at this stage of development is built in the Godot engine, see /godot/modules/ignition folder in the repository.

If you'd like to use a stable version of the game for playing around with, please use the HEAD from the master branch. But in this case you might need to build the Godot-3.5.2 with the custom module included which is in the https://github.com/z80/ignition/tree/master/godot folder.

If you are looking into a development snapshot, please consider dev branch. In this case it is Godot-4.1.2 in https://github.com/z80/ignition/tree/dev/godot folder.

For the latter one there are Windows prebuilt binaries available in https://github.com/z80/ignition/releases.

Please let me know if you have any issues.

It is in the TODO list. But I cannot promise it to be very quick unfortunately. As a temporary workaround can streaming from your home desktop to your local device via Teamviewer work?

Ah, sorry, I didn't make any UI for changing settings yes. Music can indeed be annoying. But thank you so much for the feedback. That's the first thing I'll add to the next version.

Which file did you download? 

The images are mostly from ignition-v0.1.0.zip version.

Thank you for the feedback! I'll do my best and try port it to web. But it might take a while though..

Who, me or Kenneth? (If me, I'm already on their discord server watching the progress)

Hello!

Yes, it's made in Godot. However, it uses a custom module for large scale orbital computations. Thank you! If you have time, of course, I'd appreciate any help.

Clone the repo https://github.com/z80/ignition. Releases are in the "master" branch.

Godot with the module is in "/godot" folder.

Run

"scons target=release_debug tools=yes" for godot editor.

"scons target=release tools=no" for godot redistributable version.

The game project itself is in "/ignition" subfolder.

Thank you! I do it, slowly but steadily.
