WIP Starship (read: Giant Cone)

Posted 01-30-2012 at 03:19 PM by Izack

Here it is so far:



My first 3D model and first completely original Orbiter...thing. It'll get better. I hope.

In the mean time, I'm in the middle of the idea phase. Here's what I want it to do, at least for now:

1. Be capable of interstellar and interplanetary flight using magical antimatter whatever engines (MAWEs.) Accelerates nominally at ~10m/s^2.

Underwhelming Python labs (compsci)

Posted 09-26-2011 at 07:06 PM by Izack

Today I had a 4-hour lab period in which I was expected to write a program that takes an image and makes it grayscale. We work in a watered-down Python environment running in Java (WHY?!).

Obviously it took about 5 minutes to boot the computer, setup the environment and write a paragraph, then submit it:

Code:
def grayScale(redWeight,greenWeight,blueWeight):
  pic=makePicture(pickAFile())
  show(pic)
  for p in getPixels(pic):
    r = getRed(p)*redWeight

Lunar Space Shuttles

Writing modules for the vessels from this addon:


Features implemented:
Thrusters (RCS unfinished), particle streams, docking port, attachment point (insofar nonfunctional), nonfunctional VC-type-thing (the same as in the original.)

Features planned:
One-key attachment handling (grab/drop). Currently a PITA.

Floodlight. Should be simple.

Nameplate dependant on scenario line. Sounds complicated.

The Drawing Board

Posted 04-05-2011 at 12:45 AM by Izack

Some things I'd like to make at some point:

1. Two-stage expendable bimodal-NTR interplanetary engine, similar in concept to what's seen here: http://projectrho.com/rocket/images/...ission--02.jpg
This is my primary goal right now, to be used for another stab at finishing the OFMM project.

Obstacles: No modeling skills. If anyone would like to make this model, holler, though I haven't much free time lately.

2. DLL modules...
