<<prev | top | next>> |
The Solar System Sample Program To run a sample program, you need to install Panda3D. If you're a Windows user, you'll find the sample programs in your start menu. If you're a linux user, you'll find the sample programs in /usr/share/panda3d. Screenshots Explanation This sample program shows planets orbiting around the sun, and a moon orbiting one of the planets. If you just stare at the moon, you'll realize that its motion is a spiral: The motion of the moon is only simple if you think about it in relative terms: the moon is moving in a circle relative to the planet, and the planet is moving in a circle relative to the sun. This panda program shows how to implement relative movement and relative positioning. Back to the List of Sample Programs: Sample Programs in the Distribution
