Astro-Lander is a game prototype co-created for a 1-day workshop between CESI Orleans & Harfang 3D. The game relies on realtime physics to challenge the player on their skills to counterbalance gravity and inertia.
Astro-Lander works both in 2D and VR. It is implemented in Python 🐍

Astro-Lander can be played:

• on a PC (desktop/laptop) using the keyboard
• in VR, using any SteamVR-compatible heaset and the controllers The gameplay remains in 2D, the display being in 3D or VR.
