- WHAT IS THIS THING?
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- The object of this program is to show the orbits of planets, satellites and
- comets and to move them along own orbits.
-
-
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- Any Amiga with some memory and kickstart 1.2 or higher
- DiskFont.library
- MathTrans.library
-
- The ACTDM.SS file (that contains some datas) must be in the same directory
- of Solar System

- FEATURES - SWITCHES
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- In the main menu there are 5 options:
-
-
-
- 1> SIMULATION
-
- This option allow to start a simulation. You can choose which
- planets or satellites to show (in the program: DO YOU WANT THE
- SPRITE OF PLANE... and DO YOU WANT THE SPRITE OF SATELLITE...).
- You can choose also to show the name of planets (in the program:
- DO YOU WANT THE NAME OF PLANETS?) near the sprites, to draw the
- orbits of planets and satellites (in the program: DO YOU WANT
- THE DRAWING OF ORBITS?). At the end, you can insert the time's
- interval between a position and the subsequent position (in the
- program: DAYS' INTERVAL:) and if the inserted datas are right
- (in the program: ARE DATAS RIGHT?) the simulation starts. To
- return to main menu you can press the left mouse button or the
- ESC key.
-
-
-
- 2> INFORMATION ABOUT THE PLANETS
-
- This option allow to get some informations of planets and
- satellites. For this it's enough insert the number of planets
- (in the program: PLANET'S CODE:). The informations that you can
- get for each planets are: MAJOR SEMI-AXIS, MINOR SEMI-AXIS,
- ECCENTRICITY, SPEED IN KM/S, RADIUS (DISTANCE BETWEEN PLANET
- AND SUN). The distance is in Astronamic Unit and the Sideral
- Period is in years. To return to main menu you can press the
- left mouse button or the ESC key.
-
-
-
-
- 3> SHOW LAST SIMULATION
-
- This option allow to show a picture of the last simulation. To
- return to main menu you can press the left mouse button or the
- ESC key.
-
-
-
- 4> QUIT
- Bye, bye!
-
-
-
- 5> QUIT AND SAVE LAST SIMULATION (ILBM)
-
- This option allow to save if you want (in the program: SAVE IFF
- FILE?) an IFF-ILBM picture of the last simulation before to
- quit from the program.
-
-
-
- BUGS
- ¯¯¯¯
- To show the pictures saved with the option number 5 "QUIT AND SAVE LAST
- SIMULATION (ILBM)" you must load a graphic tool like Deluxe Paint, Personal
- Paint etc..., select a 320x256 screen with 4 colors and then load the picture.
- Save the pictture if you want show it with other programs (PPSHOW, FILE MASTER
- etc...).
