Points in Spaaaace!

Points in Spaaaace!

Click on a point and drag left or right, up or down, to get a depth. Negative X or Y position reduces the Z-depth and positive X or Y increases the Z-depth. As the mouse moves around the canvas/window the page draws a line between the initial point and the current mouse point, with a depth value. When you release the mouse pointer we have an XYZ coordinate for a point in 3D space which we display with perspective tricks. I want to be able to pick a point in a volume and also rotate the points around the center of the volume.

Picking some points in a volume

Points in a Volume

Click to place a point in the canvas/window, then click move the mouse around to get a depth and click again.

Drawing a Gumdrop-shaped SSTO

Rocket Design Utility

Click and drag to draw a circle representing a spherical LOX tank in red and two more smaller aqua circles representing a toroidal liquid hydrogen tank. I'm drawing a gumdrop rocket, ideally a hydrolox SSTO... The orange box represents internal volume for rocket engines, pumps, etc.

Star System Generation, like a few dozen times before...

World Building

Running a little star system generation, making boring little solar system clones... 8-P

Star mass is 0.65 sols, star luminousity is 0.221 sols and goldilocks orbit is at 0.47 AU. Inner limit is at 0.33 AU and outer is at 0.66

Planet #0 is at 0.319 AU, period of 101.24 days, mass 0.352 earths, density is 1.028 earths
Planet #1 is at 0.48 AU, period of 186.86 days, mass 0.026 earths, density is 0.945 earths
Planet #2 is at 0.901 AU, period of 480.57 days, mass 0.393 earths, density is 0.992 earths
Planet #3 is at 1.536 AU, period of 1069.7 days, mass 0.036 earths, density is 0.914 earths
Planet #4 is at 2.266 AU, period of 1916.75 days, mass 0.03 earths, density is 1.012 earths

Gladiola for Mom.

Easter Animation

Click on three different points in the window to define a triangle and start generating a flower!

Yet Another World Map!

Land Mass!

World Map- This is a pretty standard equilateral projection of 520 by 260 pixels. I will divide the surface into pixels which are a given distance from a point and use that distance as the height. I had JS pile up thirty-three sets of heights to make this map.

41844.97 kilometers in circumference, and 13319.66 kilometers in diameter.
Total surface area is 557.36 m. km^2.
Density- 1.05. Gravity- 1.09. Mass- 1.17
