⟨Stonesmile⟩ Equipotentials, gradients and plots are all interesting. Will any of it make it in-game, or just as tools I wonder? 🤔
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ the idea is to have that in-game
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ (well, in the in-game tooling)
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ now that we have a declutter button, we need to add more clutter!
<queqiao->
⟨Stonesmile⟩ gradient descent for trajectory optimization?
<queqiao->
⟨Stonesmile⟩ (I remember seeing a notification here about GD)
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ I’ve vaguely if our optimization methods could be used to assist in flight planning, but right now it’s all just to draw equipotentials
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ (descend the gradient until you find an equipotential for the current energy, draw it)
<queqiao->
⟨Stonesmile⟩ I wonder for what, other than L-points, that would be useful for?
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ probably things in the restricted three-body problem in general; low energy transfers etc. (since it will show the forbidden regions at a given energy)
<queqiao->
⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ ⟪Stonesmile⟫ I wonder for what, other than L-points, […] ⮪ How dare you question the usefulness of noodles (or vaguely line-shaped things)!
<queqiao->
⟨Stonesmile⟩ I'm not questioning the lines! (Though I see how my message could be interpreted that way)
