What with all my free time, I’ve been working quite hard on my game this past week. Below is a screenshot of some recent progress: a partial solar eclipse sometime soon (if you know about Julian Days you can figure out when):
The apparent size of the moon is due to the fact that the viewpoint from which the shot was taken is consderably far away from the Earth; note the field of view indication. From the Earth’s surface the Moon and the Sun appear roughly the same size.
P.S. GSGL stands for “Gordon’s Scene Graph Library”, or alternately “Gordon’s Stupid Graphics Library”.
