- jazzyjackson 5y agowow, really slick, I'll have to check out your code, I've been wanting to try out generating sky maps. Only problem I ran into is rotating on touchscreen quickly got bent out of shape, not rotating the same way as I dragged the screen. Could it be a gimbal lock issue?
- pmayrgundter 5y agoThanks! Gimbal lock.. yeah, I got it after playing for a bit. Bummer. Been meaning to try this out: https://github.com/yomotsu/camera-controls https://github.com/yomotsu/camera-controls. Fun!
- dotancohen 5y agoVery nice. However, it seems to be showing a nearly-full moon for today (March 6), when in fact the moon is nearly-new. EDIT: Another issue, if you're interested. When speeding up time, it can be seen that the moon spins far too rapidly. It should be tidally locked to Earth (more or less).
- pmayrgundter 5y agoThanks! Yeah.. it's not quite there.. my orbital elements are all there but i haven't set everything running from the Epoch. I could do some tweaks to make it more realistic, but figure I'll put in a good sprint on it sometime and just do the orbits right.
