Re: [Celestia-developers] a not quite trivial demo...

[Fridger S. <t0...@ma...>]

Hi all,

originally for testing of my new script command 'lookingback { }', I hacked a
not quite trivial demo script (Pan.cel) that I find quite neat after all. In
addition, it really contains quite a number of different commands and thus
might serve as a nice example script in the distribution. 

Please have a look yourself and tell me what you think. I actually have taken
out all 'lookingback' commands to make it run also without my patch.

For testing, I also include my 'reverseObserver.patch'. If you want me to check
it in for 1.2.5, it's no big deal;-) 

There is a bug in the 'move' command:  astro::kilometersToLightYears(1.0) =>
astro::kilometersToMicroLightYears(1.0)

This is also fixed in my patch. Moreover, I am working on a 'setfov { value
time }' command, which is badly missing, I think. Slowly changing the field of
view over a period of time can give great effects in a script.

Bye Fridger
