Moon orbiting Earth (GDI+)

Hi!

Here's my latest GDI+ creation, it's the moon orbiting earth in fake 3d.

Oh and thanks to weaponx for the _SetClipCircle function

Enjoy >_<

Thats pretty cool, but I would have the Death Star orbiting Alderaan.

If you find any Alderaan & Death Star textures, just replace the standard one and it should work

Nice!

Only one problem:

Moon should have rotation to oposite side :-)

Moon makes one turn for one rotation around the Earth so we can see only one half of its surface from the Earth.

So is this a relative to that clock you showed me? Looks great anyway!

[Achilles]

This is pretty sweet.

[monoceres]

Thanks everyone

@Zedna

You're right but the script isn't made for real world simulation anyway, the problem is that the rotation around earth and rotation around itself is not calculated in the same way.

Edit: Eh, it's not that much work, I fix it >_<

@AdmiralAlkex

The clock evolved into this. Thought it looked cooler

Edit2: It now takes the moon one lap around the earth to rotate around itself.

Really nice! new frontiers...

I-like-it-a-lot

@monoceres; moon does not turn, rotate around itself

I haven't looked at the new version, but if I'm not mistaken the moon also rotates around the earth in the same direction the earth revolves.

Good stuff monoceres.

I tried to find a Star Destroyer texture from the SWG .tre files and failed. The only textures labeled "Star Destryoer" were like the sides of the thing

Awesome job on the script!

[torels]

WOW

It's fantastic!!

Wouldn't you be looking for Death Star? A Star Destroyer texture wouldn't work. Come on now get your Star Wars terms right >_<

[AutoProgramming]

Very nice

[Delta]

Nice but I think the moon is spinning the wrong way??

Yes but the wrong way!

If you change to this

$mrot = (1-Mod($time,2*$PI)/(2*$PI))*$moontexturew
    $mrot2 = (1-Mod($time,2*$PI)/(2*$PI))*$moontexturew-$moontexturew

it will make Zedna happy (and me).

But who cares, it looks fantastic.

@monoceres; moon does not turn, rotate around itself

I'm not native English speaker and this was quite difficult to translate for me

Obviously me neither, if I wasn't understood.

monoceress moon was not moving right after update as a response to your post (still isn't as I can see).

I was trying to simplify things.

[spudw2k]

Awesome, very slick! I can learn a lot from the math in this.

[WeMartiansAreFriendly]

Nice!

Perhaps this could be turned into some kind of space adventure game?
