Pico Flight Simulator

Published 2023-06-12


Here is the first pass at the Pico-8 Flight Simulator in filled and shaded 3D.

Explore an expansive, mountainous world and avoid crashing.
(Simulation might be a stretch, as nothing about the aircraft physics is actually modeled... but you have to start somewhere.)

Controls:
Left / Right Arrow: Turn
Up / Down Arrow: Increase / Decrease Pitch

I was feeling down about the frame rate, but then I looked at videos of flight simulators from the late 80's and early 90's and that made me feel better :-D.

Changes:
--Fixed movement bug

Next tasks:
--Cockpit graphics
--More varied terrain
--Some sort of goal (perhaps travel from airport to airport and land... like a real flight sim...)
