Development update: preview of next version

It was last year (2007) that I updated the rendering of atmospheric haze in my Gravity simulator. However, I never updated the development website (where the last message dated from 2004....).

Over the last few months I started updating the simulator.
These things are updated:
  • Addition of multiple satellites, at the place of mouse click (like in the famous Satellites Java applet)
  • Atmospheric haze rendering
  • Switch from Euler to "Runge Kutta 4" integrator (for updating the position of the orbiting satellite).
  • more..

So here some previews of the visual updates in the upcomming version.
Also notice the use of more high resolution Earth textures:





(you can see a slight problem here: the atmospheric haze is rendered *over* the HUD text messages)
