1. What is Moon Lander

======================

Moon Lander is a PocketC applet. It is a simulation/game of a landing craft,

very similar to the american "Eagle" that landed on the moon.

Your are the commander of this lang craft and you will show the world how does

is should be done...

Enjoy the game.

2. How to play

==============

When started, you are are in the final stage of moon landing.

Elevation, about 130 ft. Decent rate of aft per second. Fuel tanks - 100%.

On display you see your craft - top/middle.

fuel gauge - left (bar gauge).

moon landscape - bottom.

elevation - bottom/left.

gravity - bottom/middle.

decent rate - bottom/right.

The landing zone is one of the flat areas on the moon and is different from the

other by in blinking light.

You have to land at decent rate that not more than 2.5ft/s.

For stopping the free fall of your craft need your main engine: press on

button,

that give your craft a speed for one second (change the decent rate by 1ft/s).

For moving from size to size, you will need the secondary engine, use them by tap

right or left of the craft.

Those action take a fuel unit each.

On the beginning of the program you will be asked if you want to change the landing

zone size. you could keep it as is (10 meters - the same as your craft) or increase

the landing zone, and by that give you some error margin (up to 5 meters on each size).

After you landed, you will be given a new landing situation on a different moon

(shot for the stars !!!) and because of it the gravity there is different. But before

you start you will see your score on the last landing.

Score will be accumulate until you will not succeed to land successfully.

If you crash (Do you know how much the landing craft cost ?) you will be asked if you

want to play again (Say no please, and save the tax payer money).

3. Installation

5. Planned features & other Stuff

================================

I plan to add some features to the game like, VTR system (record and analyze your

landing), HiScore records, Rotating factors, start the game one stage sooner and more.

I'm waiting for PocketC development to enter some other features that can't be done now.

I am open to any comment that you have about this game.

This program was written as a proof of concept (PocketC usability).

There are some Easter Eggs/cheats on the version - see if you could find it...
