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 0.86 sols, star luminousity is 0.589 sols and goldilocks orbit is at 0.76 AU. Inner limit is at 0.53 AU and outer is at 1.07

Planet #0 is at 0.31 AU, period of 73.3 days, mass 0.02 earths, density is 1.107 earths
Planet #1 is at 0.537 AU, period of 167.12 days, mass 0.324 earths, density is 0.922 earths
Planet #2 is at 0.808 AU, period of 308.46 days, mass 0.579 earths, density is 1.038 earths
Planet #3 is at 1.53 AU, period of 803.76 days, mass 0.242 earths, density is 1.014 earths
Planet #4 is at 2.228 AU, period of 1412.42 days, mass 1.359 earths, density is 1.042 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.

32181.86 kilometers in circumference, and 10243.8 kilometers in diameter.
Total surface area is 329.66 m. km^2.
Density- 1.05. Gravity- 0.84. Mass- 0.53
