This is just with made up numbers since I haven't hooked it into the VM yet, but still. I also need to optimize for fuel consumption (7688 units, in this case). By I can hit an arbitrary moving target fairly squarely now ( Read more... )

Go, go, go!

We've got all of the Hohmann problems solved, but we've got some way to go on Meet and Greet. I'm happy with our VM and decompiler -- we've hardly had to touch them since we started working on the individual problems, and that's a good feeling. Our visualization stuff is pretty primitive, though. I imagine yours is awesome-looking.

Actually, my visualization consists of dumping out the data in text form and plotting it with GnuPlot. Primitive, but it works. I tend to try to avoid making custom tools if there's an off-the-shelf solution that I can adapt (and particularly in cases like this where the development time is critical.)
