Did you do all the math yourself?


yup, derived most of the equations myself then double checked them before implementing them. That being said all of the positining is done through time steps and not so much equations


Nice work! Had a "blast" playing it ;)


My 17 year old son is applying to college and he built this rocket launch simulator for his portfolio. I think it's pretty awesome, but... I'm his Dad ¯_(ツ)_/¯ And I don't know anything about orbital mechanics or rocket launches. What do you think?

Blazer is amazing, and we use it every day all day at my startup. Huge thanks to akane.

However, I’ve contributed a couple of PRs and heard crickets. Doesn’t seem as if the repo is maintained actively these days, so we run a modified fork internally.

Agree. Beautiful stuff! The second problem with the name JAWS is that it's not very SEO friendly - competing with a lot of stuff. My first reaction was to google for some examples using JAWS, but that pulls up a huge variety of things (including the Freedom Scientific software, which is confusing at first). I give +1 for the JSAWS (j-sauce) acronym.
