kandi X-RAY | orbiter Summary

orbiter is a C++ library typically used in Gaming, Game Engine, Unity applications. orbiter has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has medium support. You can download it from GitHub.

Orbiter is a spaceflight simulator based on Newtonian mechanics. Its playground is our solar system with many of its major bodies – the sun, planets and moons. You take control of a spacecraft – either historic, hypothetical, or purely science fiction. Orbiter is unlike most commercial computer games with a space theme – there are no predefined missions to complete (except the ones you set yourself), no aliens to destroy and no goods to trade. Instead, you will get a pretty good idea about what is involved in real space flight – how to plan an ascent into orbit, how to rendezvous with a space station, or how to fly to another planet. It is more difficult, but also more of a challenge. Some people get hooked, others get bored. Finding out for yourself is easy – simply give it a try. Orbiter is free, so you don’t need to invest more than a bit of your spare time.

            Unity 3'nd Person Controller Camera Acting Weird

            I'm very new in Unity and Stackowerflow. If i did something wrong, please don't judge me ^^ I used Unity's TPS Controller asset for my game. In first, it worked very well. But then It broke. But i didn't do anything :( (i don't even touch scripts or prefabs). After that, i deleted asset and re-download it but it didnt work again. Here is one example from my broken scene and these are the codes from my controller. Thanks For Any Kind of Help.

            I had the same problem too. I researched a lot of documents about that and finally, I solved this problem. The problem is not about your codes or events or smth else. The problem is related to Unity. I don't know the exact reason for the problem but you can solve it this way: First, go Edit > Project Settings and select Input System Package from the Left tab. And then, change the Update Method with Process Events In Dynamic Update. And that's all! Dynamic update means the usual Update method that you see in the scripts void Update().

            How to create a first-person "space flight" camera
            Asked 2022-Mar-15 at 13:43

            I'm currently attempting to create a first-person space flight camera.

            First, allow me to define what I mean by that.

            Notice that I am currently using Row-Major matrices in my math library (meaning, the basis vectors in my 4x4 matrices are laid out in rows, and the affine translation part is in the fourth row). Hopefully this helps clarify the order in which I multiply my matrices.

            What I have so Far

            So far, I have successfully implemented a simple first-person camera view. The code for this is as follows:

            ANSWER

            Answered 2022-Mar-02 at 23:15

            The problem is that two numbers, pitch and yaw, provide insufficient degrees of freedom to represent consistent free rotation behavior in space without any “horizon”. Two numbers can represent a look-direction vector but they cannot represent the third component of camera orientation, called roll (rotation about the “depth” axis of the screen). As a consequence, no matter how you implement the controls, you will find that in some orientations the camera rolls strangely, because the effect of trying to do the math with this information is that every frame the roll is picked/reconstructed based on the pitch and yaw.

            The minimal solution to this is to add a roll component to your camera state. However, this approach (“Euler angles”) is both tricky to compute with and has numerical stability issues (“gimbal lock”).

            Instead, you should represent your camera/player orientation as a quaternion, a mathematical structure that is good for representing arbitrary rotations. Quaternions are used somewhat like rotation matrices, but have fewer components; you'll multiply quaternions by quaternions to apply player input, and convert quaternions to matrices to render with.

            It is very common for general purpose game engines to use quaternions for describing objects' rotations. I haven't personally written quaternion camera code (yet!) but I'm sure the internet contains many examples and longer explanations you can work from.

            How do I make copies of a Node in Godot

            I'm new to Godot coming fresh from unity and I cant figure out how to duplicate an object/node. I've tried the duplicate function to no effect.

            • The base node class is invisible (gray) so you cannot see if they were added or not. You can switch from the local to the remote tab in the scene tree while running to see only one invisible node added.
            • If you change the code to AddChild(copynode).Duplicate(); you can see it adds all 5 invisible nodes.

            Asked 2022-Feb-13 at 13:14

            When I say "Entity" below, I'm not specifically referring to anything relating to the ECS pattern, I just mean a general game entity.

            I'm trying my hand at game development in C, after having done previous game dev in TypeScript. I'm looking for a C idiomatic way to reuse a pattern with which I'm familiar: each tick, the game iterates through a list of entities, telling each one to update itself, then draw itself. Each entity knows how to update itself, but requires information about the game as a whole to make this update.

            Don't #include "entity.h" from game.h and vice versa. Just forward declare what you need a pointer to. Also add header guards if you haven't already.

            Install orbiter

            Get the Orbiter source repository from github. To configure and generate the makefiles, you need a recent CMake. To compile Orbiter from its sources, you need Microsoft Visual Studio. Orbiter has been successfully built with VS Community 2019, but other versions should also work. Note that VS2019 comes with built-in CMake support, so you don't need a separate CMake installation. Orbiter is a 32-bit application. Be sure to configure vspkg and CMake accordingly.
            If you are using the Ninja generator (default for the VS built-in CMake), you may also need vspkg to configure the VS toolset.
            If you are using the VS2019 generator, you may need to set up Visual Studio to use only a single thread for the build. This is because some of the build tools (especially those for generating the Orbiter documentation) are not threadsafe, and the VS2019 generator doesn't understand the CMake JOB_POOL directive.
            a filter to convert ODT and DOC sources to PDF, such as LibreOffice.
            a LaTeX compiler suite such as MiKTeX.
            Doxygen for building the source-level documentation for developers.
            orbiter.exe is the standalone Orbiter application with built-in DX7 graphics.
            orbiter_ng.exe is a launcher for ./Modules/Server/orbiter.exe which is the graphics server version of Orbiter. It requires an external graphics client plugin to be loaded via the Modules tab of the Orbiter Launchpad dialog. The reference D3D7Client is included with the build with essentially the same functionality as the built-in graphics version. Use 3rd party client implementations to make use of more modern graphics engines.
