Re: [Mars-sim-developers] Mars Society Website Link To Mars Simulation Project Needs Updating

[manny k. <man...@gm...>]

Hi Shaun,

Recently I've been refactoring the code that does the job of timekeeping in
mars-sim in hope of removing the limitation of having the default start
date (2043 Sep 30 00:00:00 UTC) at the beginning of a simulation.

In light of that, we just put up a new Mars Calendar wiki page at
https://github.com/mars-sim/mars-sim/wiki/Mars-Calendar. May be you can
make use of this link somewhere in your website instead of the old link.

Now that I spend more time reading about Mars timekeeping, it turns out the
version that we use in mars-sim is quite different from your Utopian
Calendar.

Do you still by any chance know those who designed the timekeeping code in
mars-sim and whom you might have conversation with in the past ?

Anyway, I notice that we use different names for week day names and month
names than in your Utopian Calendar. Also, we use 1000 millisols as the
time division for each day on Mars.

Also note that our project website is with github at
https://mars-sim.github.io and not with sourceforge anymore

Regards,
Manny
