Sorry I couldn't unzip it properly

Windows file paths! And i had problem unzipping it. But besides that i think that it has great
potential. It was fun to find (semi-)stable orbits around the sun.

An interesting game. Very much.

Bad zip file. Missing dependency (yaml). Windows paths (backslash). Final upload described
as "unfinished". If you don't want me to play your game just don't upload it.

Unfortunately I can't really give you a good Production score since it's so difficult to play.
How about not starting up in full screen, and letting Esc or Q or R or Ctrl-C or Alt-F4 do
something when you die, instead of me having to get back to the terminal and killing the
process. Based on your posts, your game started off going in a really cool direction. I think
this is a case where realistic physics and realistic scales probably get in the way of a fun
gameplay experience.

It seems pretty unfinished, but I still had way too much fun flying around and trying to orbit
the sun.

It took me a few times to avoid crashing into the sun; perhaps it would be better to start off in a
stable orbit. I wish there were a goal, and a way to quit without hitting Control-C from the
console window, but the screen is beautiful and the physics are great.

the theme? nice simulation

self.image = Vector((255,0,0),"images\\ship.sgl",angle_offset = -pi/2) The above
doesn't work in linux. Use a forward-slash which will work on both windows and linux at least.
Safest way is os.path.join The game itself: I managed to explore my way into the sun and was then
unable to quit the game.

Phenomenally difficult, but strangely addictive nevertheless.

Got it to work after all. Not a bad concept. I'm sorry you couldn't finish.
