A Lua script vessel modeling a Zorb recreational ball in various ridiculous scenarios. All 290 vertices of the spherical mesh have corresponding touchdown points with stiffness and damping values set to mimic a bouncing rolling Zorb.
Should work with OpenOrbiter May 14, 2024 or later on Windows or Linux under Wine.
Instructions: Unzip into Orbiter directory, launch a scenario under Scenarios/Zorb.
Controls:You have none. Hit F1 and enjoy the ride. A simple thruster is now provided to provide some energy for bouncy explorations and to get you out of corners. No steering, but if you are tumbling and fire the thruster at the right time you can move in a particular direction.
If you want a really bouncy experience, comment the following code in Config/Vessels/Zorb/Zorb.lua as shown to eliminate drag.
A couple introductory scenarios are provided. If you come up with more interesting scenarios, post them here.
