A space exploration game developed by J Hamilton.
To perform a maneuver, click on a position in the craft's orbit to create a maneuver node. Maneuver nodes can have the maneuver modified by dragging the thrust vector handle. Accelerate time with '.' and decelerate time with ','. Game can be paused with space bar. Input is controlled by: Assets/Scripts/Ship/InputController.cs.
The world consists of many objects, each of which is explained below.
