Planet Music

About

A small orbit simulation game made for Mini Jam 107: Music².

The idea is to try to create music by adding planets that cross the middle vertical line in the right position, where each segment is a different note. You can not directly move the planets, but have to create suns whose gravity fields affect the planets’ orbit; planets do not affect one another here.

Warning: This game was made in less than 48 hours, contains bugs, and should be considered more a prototype than a fully-developed game.

Controls

• Drag with the left mouse button to create a new planet and give it an initial velocity.
• Drag with the right mouse button to add a new sun with a mass.
• Middle click on a sun to remove it.
• Mouse wheel to zoom in and out.
• Press the escape key while dragging with either button to cancel.
• R to remove all suns and planets, and start again.
