[Mr. Kibernetik]

I think that illuminator on a ship will be a cool upgrade. Also exhaust fire will add some interaction.
And time indicator will add some competition...

I think that illuminator on a ship will be a cool upgrade. Also exhaust fire will add some interaction.
And time indicator will add some competition...

Anybody to add these thingies? Or one or two of them?

[GeorgeMcGinn]

Before I posted my version of the Lunar Lander, or as it was called LEM, I tried this program and I had to work through a number of errors. Now I am getting a RESET not a valid command.

Was this one of the commands made obsolete, or does it need to be formatted differently.

The other issues I found were invalid characters. For example, the IF fuel<0 then fuel=0 got a syntax error, and only after I retyped it exactly as it was did it work. That tells me there might have been an invalid HEX character that I removed when I retyped it.

I know this was posted many years ago, so if you are inclined to see why it does not work for me, that fine. Either way.

The game I am going to post is one written in the 1970's that I converted to work in SmartBASIC. It has the line numbers but since it was written in TRS-80 BASIC, it needed some modifications. It is a text-based program, as most of them were back then.

Here is the code to my version of LEM (Or a version of Lunar Lander).

Here is the 1970's version of the original "Lunar Lander."

It is a different game than LEM. It is closer to Henko's dressed up version.

For some reason I can find why the Burn Rate isn't printing, and I have not yet had a chance to format the output like I did for LEM game.

Enjoy

I guess the command was changed to TIME RESET. I made those changes after pulling a new copy of the code (1st time I pulled it from a quoted post, this one directly from the post itself) and all the issues with bad characters went away.

Here is Henko's working copy of Lunar Lander.

I will try to add the flames and possibly the ship exploding if it lands too hard.

I will also look for a real lunar lander graphic to replace the rocket, but for now the game works great.

Enjoy.

I also added SET ORIENTATION PORTRAIT as line 2, since that is how the program needs to be oriented. After a few tries I got a perfect landing, and was given a hero's welcome on earth.

Then I thought - if the landing can be completed perfectly, how badly can it be screwed up? There is a skill to that too. It isn't easy to have the lander accelerate to more than -140 m/s before reaching the surface. To achieve that speed, your timing also needs to be perfect. See if you can do it. Maybe we need various images of destroyed ships, depending on impact speed. This one would be just a few tangled strips of metal.

I made a more realistic simulation some time ago. It's a rocket (two or three stages, i don't remember), which has a two dimensional flying space (height and horizontal). The rocket starts on the ground and you can simply go up and try to land again in a pure vertical path, as in my old, simple sim.
But it is also possible (but very difficult) to attain a stable orbit in space manually.
The forces on the rocket are the rocket engine, the weight (which varies due to fuel consumption, stage abandon, height (Newton's law)), centrifugal force, and drag in the atmosphere (height dependent).

The aim is to land again safely, or to attain a stable orbit.
Possible failures: crash while landing, overheating while returning in the atnosphere, or disappear in far space.

The user interface is very basic, designed for personal use only.
Most of it is rather self explaining.
Some of the less obvious things:
Angle: simply the attitude of the rocket; i did not implement side rockets to direct the rocket, but used a slider to direct the rocket.
The circle shows the attitude of the rocket (black) and the actual velocity vector (red)
Stat.speed: this is the needed horizontal velocity for a stable orbit on the actual height of the rocket.

The code follows the image. There is some documentation in it.

George, here are some items you can use as sprites to dress up the lunar lander. All three items
are transparent, so they can be used on any background.

An animated gif rocket flame - it will look more realistic at a faster cycle rate:
