I made the gravity engine a while back and decided to make a game out of it.
Aim - to get your cube into the black hole with as little hits as possible, and as much style as possible.If your ball goes into orbit, you lose 7 lives as you must change level.
If your ball(which is a white cube) hits a star, you lose a life


Controls
left/right-change launch angle
up/down-decrease/increase power

space-Launch

shift-another level
Used when your ball goes into orbit, or the level is just too dang hard. Uses 7 lives.

My best is Level 11, With 10,957 style points(default levelset)
You get 4 lives for getting yourr ball in the hole

It should all be there now. I hope the 20 line contest will be up and running again soon.

woo! level 15 with 1222 style points this is actually a really original game, the random positions of the planets make it a little hard sometimes but other than that its great. maybe you should develop it into a ful game?

In the beginning, the universe was created...
This made alot of people very angry and it has been widely regarded as a bad idea...

Damn you!

Just kidding. The games awesome. I just got ticked off when my ball wouldn't quit orbiting the planets on level 11. Took three minutes before I quit...

Really fun game. I ran into 1 problem. using level set 1. When I reached level 11 there wasn't any gray target visible. Then on one of my launches I got stuck in an endless orbit.

I hope you plan on writing this as a full game, with sound. It really could be that good.

So far I was able to get to level 11 with leaving the power to max.
I'll see if I can top this.

Lol, nice game, however my ball just kept orbitin around not in a perfect way though, i left my computer on, and like 1 hour later its still orbiting. happened on level 17 when i can't find the gray hole.

Hey what is this textbox for??? Btw, is there a way to edit my signature?

well in reality it would just keep orbiting too (exluding friction from interstellar gasses) and that is what the reset button is for
The Reset button is shift

the levels are randomly generated, and after a while the program gives up looking for universes where planets don't intersect

WIth your default "level set", I can't find the hole on level 8. Anyways, it's a fun game. THe framerate is a bit inefficient though (Tried to set it to 60, only ran at 37 fps).

Oh, well, unfortunately the maths are incorrect. they suffice, but from a physisist point of view they are lacking.

The formua i used for the effect of gravity on the ball was
[radius of the planet] / [distance from planet] ^2 * [constant]

but the correct formula is
[radius of the planet]^3 / [distance from planet] ^2 * [constant]

because i didnt realise until the game was finished, and changing them would mean changing many other values and may make the game worse.

WOW! I got the ball to orbit a set of planets on level 6 about 30 times!!!! It would probably have kept going on forever if I hadn't quited. You may want to add something to monitor how long the ball travels and stop it after a while. Would be cool if you could make a 3D version two, would get more complicated.
