PyWeek - Meaningful Flailings - feedback

Kind of frustrating.

I like playing with orbital mechanics. Had to rename the music file before it would work. The
delay while the text scrolls after you crash makes the game practically unplayable - and
pressing escape during that time means that after it's finished the game quits. I took that out
and then it's a nice little game. You can easily get yourself into situations where there is no
solution though.

$ python main.py \n Traceback (most recent call last): \n File "main.py", line 51, in \n
pygame.mixer_music.load(convert('data/Phantom From Space.ogg')) \n pygame.error:
Couldn't open 'data/Phantom From Space.ogg' \n \n Manjaro Linux, Tested in python 2.7.11 and
3.5.1 Have confirmed data files are intact. Sounds open with vlc and are named correctly.

it is hard to aim the right orbit....but thats the challange. What it was harder is to press the
right keys.... you should clear the event queue when chaning scene, otherwise if I press space
multiple times the simulation loops n times, also I could not launch for real since
shift+enter did not work, probably because of the key queuing issue

OK game. Gameplay is a bit same'ish, but overall not bad.

I just can't do it.

I've played a number of games that have a simple 2-d orbital mechanics simulation at their
heart, but this one still managed to make it interesting. I have to admit I found the control
scheme pretty bewildering. I would try to quit a simulation with space only to immediately
start the simulation again. And of course pressing Esc when you're not in a simulation is very
different. I finally got the hang of it on my third playthrough, but listing the current
keybindings on screen would have gone a long way. The atmosphere is good, though, so that helps
make up for it. The speeding up is a really nice feature. It is pretty hard, though.

Nice game, all seems to work well. The difficulty is well adjusted ! The only real problem is
that we cannot abort a simulation nor a text scroll (it appear at each fail/success and its
duration is quite long).

I really like the idea, but it is really buggy. First up the game didn't work: Here is the
traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "main.py", line 51, in
pygame.mixer_music.load(convert('data/Phantom From Space.ogg')) pygame.error:
Couldn't open 'data/Phantom From Space.ogg' I'm running main.py and the data directory has
"Phantom from Space.ogg" (note the lower case f in from). Changing it to "Phantom From
Space.ogg" makes it work. So I did get to play it. Getting a moon orbiting and simulating is
great. But actually launching proved to be really difficult as I had to time my shift+enter for
that split second between the end of the simulation and the start of the next. Also
non-optional text scrolls are really annoying! Awesome idea, but playability suffers.

Kinda cool. I placed two moons and when asked to place a third I got a bit bored, wasn’t sure how
many times I would be asked to do it.

Interesting idea for a game. I'm not really patient enough to play this for a long period of
time, but it does have some appeal. The presentation is decent enough, and I like that the
player can simulate the results first before finalizing their solution. The timer should
really be based on game time and not real time, though.

interesting！
