Relativistic Space Flight Simulator
A space flight simulator with a procedurally generated universe. Currently implementing 10 light-year cubic sectors with realistic relativistic physics including time dilation effects.
Choose Your Starting Configuration
Select the type of stellar object and starting distance:
Star Type
Starting Distance
Scenarios (Optional)
Controls
- 1 - Double the rate of time
- 2 - Half the rate of time
- Page Up - Turn on 1G thrust (fn + up on Mac)
- Page Down - Turn off 1G thrust (fn + down on Mac)
- WASD - Change the direction of thrust (up/left/down/right)
- ↑↓←→ - Arrow keys to look around
- Mouse - Click on object labels to see detailed information (mass, diameter, gravity, etc.)
Features
- Stellar bodies are surrounded with a wireframe polygon 10 million kilometers in diameter for distant visibility
- Solar systems are marked with a 0.1 light-year wireframe polygon
- Map Date: Time for a stationary observer
- Proper Date: Time as experienced by the traveler
- Both gravity and velocity cause time dilation - approach a black hole or travel at 1G acceleration to see proper and map velocities diverge
- The nearest star type can be configured (red giant, main sequence, white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole) by editing the configuration in the HTML file

TEM Molecule Viewer
A Transmission Electron Microscope simulator (work in progress). Currently supports projected potential visualization (number of protons per pixel).
Features
- Loads molecules from Protein Data Bank (PDB files)
- Supports Jmol format (MOL files)
- Requires Java Runtime Environment
- Place PDB or MOL file in the same folder and enter the filename (e.g., 1xzn.pdb) in the textbox
