My First Planet Dev Progress

This little ditty shows my current progress integrating my planet plugin with with open game engine project. I've got a ship model that I can fly around and shoot lasers. There are mines randomly generated around the planet that I can destroy, and there is a minimal HUD that shows the ship's speed and power for the laser.

I'm still just learning things and working them out. Still a ton of bugs like the mouse control for the ship is to twitchy and lots of things remain to be implemented like lighting for the spaceship and shadows and a million other things.

I recorded this from the debug build of the project so, I'm fairly pleased that I could max the allowed framerate for Fraps video capture

@lintfordpickle thnx! I wish I had more to report, but you know how it is - sometimes progress is slow.There have been so many issues with input and physics that it has really taken my time away from things like the HUD, gameplay, planet editing. How's your game coming along?

Dude this is such nice work! I've been thinking a lot about making a FPS/Space Sim lately and ran across your site. Great work! I'm totally jealous of what you have going. I also downloaded your Spacescape program and have been having a ton of fun with that. Great stuff!
