SiSiNoPlEx

SiSiNoPlEx, a 6-DOF Simple Simplex Noise Planet Exploration game, that I tried to make for RigidJam10. I ultimately exceeded the 2 hour limit for making the game, since I struggled making the controls for the player work, and thus did not submit it to the Jam. The theme was"Chill, something  relaxing or cold".

The planet generation is still highly unoptimised and it takes quite a while to generate anything, and the blocks are quite featureless.

Sometime in the future I might try to add something to this, since I found it quite relaxing to explore the generated structures. A list of things I'd like to add are:

• Critters to interact with.
• The ability to launch probes.
• Faster generation (possibly shader-based on GPU, or with different threads)
• Larger "planets".
• Generation based on different noises and/or fractal structures inside the planet to explore.
• Marching cubes to make smoother "voxels".
• More block types and a way to interact with them.

Control scheme:

w -> Accelerate Forward
a -> Accelerate Leftward
s -> Accelerate Backward
d -> Accelerate Rightward
shift -> Accelerate Downward
Space -> Accelerate Upward

q -> Roll anti-clockwise
e -> Roll clockwise
mouse movement -> Rolls up/down and left-right

z -> Linear movement brake
x -> Angular movement brake

r -> Restarts the game and puts you back on the menu screen
