Explore various moons and planets in our Solar System. Credit goes to wikipedia for the data on gravity, temperature, inspiration for the colors and procedural terrain settings chosen, as well as atmosphere make up.

Controls:

WASD - Walk
Space - Jump
O to thrust down
Mouse to look.
ESC to unlock mouse (and get your mouse back)
ESC again to pause/quit.

If the mouse gets stuck, press ESC again.

If you hit any issues, I've found Chrome/Edge/Safari to be the most compatible.

I'll be posting a YouTube video on this shortly demoing this and for discussion. If you have ideas, feel free to leave in comments below! I built this using a 3D engine we built on YouTube, feel free to check out!

This is a remake of the same project I built a long time ago. Feel free to check out the article: https://www.alexanderfarrell.com/articles/walking-on-different-planets
