2001 Space Odyssey (redesigned)

7,738 Tarquez  5.2 years ago

From one of the greatest visual masterpieces of Science Fiction - 2001: A Space Odyssey. I redesigned the space station a bit and, as in the film, the station is still under orbital construction. I also added the Pan Am plane seen in the film. I am attempting to make a mobile friendly version, since it’s so huge.

Controls:
AG 1 - Activate station engines then throttle up (when velocity reaches 1200 mph, throttle down and depress AG 1)

AG 2 - Seperate PanAm plane (wait till station velocity is under 200 mph)

AG 3 - activate plane engines which function through VTOL - up is forward, down is reverse.

I would have added more details, but my iPad kept crashing when undoing changes. And I also would love to have the plane actually leave from the hanger...maybe in a future update?

    Thanks! Yeah, I've been working on a mobile version and I am down to 1850 parts, but it still crashes my iPhone6 + @AZAMGAMING

    Not gonna lie, I chuckled a bit when I first watched it. Just, "How did I get from a realistic space movie to this?

    Yeah, I have a feeling that this was Kubrick’s inside joke… have the audience leave the theater scratching their heads, but loving that mystery as well as the cinematic beauty at the same time. I think any one that walked out of the theater and said they got it the first time, was either lying, or they worked on the film 🤣 @MrTyTheGreat

    I didn't get it either, really. I watched a video about it and it made a little more sense. I loved the absract ending, even if I didn't get it at first. Really, the fact that I didn't get it is why I love it so much. There's so much information to break down.

    Thank you @SakuraSaku and @MrTyTheGreat and it it’s also one of my favorite films. It’s funny, most people I talk to about it always have this reaction “I didn’t get it“. I tell them, to either read the original story “The Sentinel” or watch 2010. Or just watch the movie for the art that it is ☺️

    @Tarquez I think moderators choose which builds to be featured.

    @tsampoy , that would be nice. Not sure how that happens, though.

    @Tarquez This needs to be featured

    @Tarquez Yeah, it's brand new, so it still runs about 20Gs of free space, so that's a lot of processing power that SimplePlanes can take advantage of, and allow higher part counts!

    @AWESOMENESS360, Thought you were gonna tell me you had an iPhone X or higher. Good to know...might be time for me to upgrade. It’s just been working for me fine, other than high count builds on this game. Oh, the irony!

    @Tarquez it's an iPhone 7+, it has 32Gs and can handle, what is my record so far, 2,100+ parts! I can play with this with some lag on Low Physics, but that's honestly way better than anything else any of my other devices could handle!

    @AWESOMENESS360, I have an older iPhone 6 Plus. Glad your new phone can handle it!

    @Tarquez you're welcome! It's fun being able to download more of your high part-count creations, now that I have a new phone!

    @Brendorkus , yeah, I just tried opening it on my iPhone to see what would happen, and it crashed it. It will probably be the last time I make something that big…

    @Brendorkus , I’m really sorry about destroying your phone… Believe it or not, I made the majority of it on my iPad, and every other time I undid something (which took forever), it would crash. I knew it would be hard to launch from a mobile device, for that I apologize, my friend. Your phone is probably upset for the upvote, but I appreciate it! Thanks.
