MiniLanding3D

miniLanding3D is a spaceflight simulation game in which you take control of a lunar lander at the final phases of its landing burn. You will have to cancel your velocity and make a soft touchdown before you run out of propellant.

Required Python Modules

• pyopengl
• pygame
• pywavefront
• keyboard

How To Run

a) Running main_ext_view.py starts the game in external view (third person) mode.

b) Running main_cabin_view.py starts the game in commander's POV, looking out of the lander's window

Controls

• W, A, S, D, Q, E keys to adjust angular velocity (via reaction control thruster pulses)

• U & J keys to respectively increase and decrease throttle (throttle below about 17% is not allowed since it would be impossible to sustain combustion)

• T & G keys to respectively activate and deactivate descent-rate autothrottle

• Y & H keys to respectively increase and decrease autothrottle descent-rate setting

• R & F keys to respectively start and shutdown the main engine

• Hold the X key to kill all rotation (panic button)

• M key toggles music.
