Here's a port of a PlayDate project I made. It's a solar system simulator!
The PlayDate SDK uses Lua just like Picotron does, so porting wasn't too hard. This version of the project has color of course, plus semi-decent mouse support!
Original project here: https://robotinker.itch.io/orrery
================================================
Put the solar system in your pocket! Orrery is an astronomy/astrology app written for the PlayDate handheld (https://play.date/). Crank through time to see where the planets were or will be on specific dates. Includes:
- Scientific mode: a 3D view with realistic orbits
- Diagrammatic mode: a simple, compass-like view of the solar system
- Astrological mode, including:
- Zodiac annotation
- Retrograde planet detection
- Lunar phase
- Controls for easily jumping forward or backward in time by decades or centuries at a time, and the ability to jump to the current date as well
- A save system for bookmarking specific dates
- Delightful sound effects!

Here's a remake of a game I saw my partner playing on the television. It kept playing ads, so I thought I'd take a stab at making it myself.
So now you can play it on your phone! Merry Christmas, Shogen! <3
