Spacing out

You should probably write "zoom" in the lower right. I didn't figure out how to use that for a while.

Consider it done.

Hurray

0.0.2 is here.

I'm not going to list the many changes, I'll just say this:

• Gravity's a lot stronger now. If you find yourself unable to launch your ship from a planet, you might find the keys Tab and/or Left Shift useful.
• I included a little AI. One ship flies to a certain point on the map, and once it reached that it flies to another. Another ship is following it.
• Please vote on my polls

heh ... that was fun ... both AI ships went more or less directly to the black hole

I like it
I think the zooming should be a little bit straight forward, having arrows like this <------> along the longest side of the zoom-triangle. The black hole is good too, even tho it sometimes makes me go quick around it and then back again. A black hole isn't supposed to let anything get away, right?

You can, the principle can actually be used to accelerate (normally done using planets, if done at all), the point of no return AKA event horizon is the circle of light at the center.

Yes, that is right. I programmed that to be the second point they fly to.

I'll try that, thanks. At this point, the UI is very experimental and subject to change.

Exactly. 8-)

lol, our biology teacher told us the point of no return was having an orgasm...

I guess I need to change the message you get if you crash into the BH then...

So, crashing into a black hole is only a little death?
