Love the bullet glow effect, and it's a cool visual when you run into an asteroid too. I was able to run this in Ubuntu on my Windows laptop, but curiously I couldn't get an OpenGL 3 context in DrRacket running natively (I'm on an older laptop). I'm wondering if Linux Racket automatically downgrades the context somehow? I have no idea how these things work unfortunately.

Thanks! Some other people have run into issues with getting pict3d running. Apparently its not quite a 'runs anywhere' library. Thank you for giving it a go.

I'm unable to run it for some reason :(

The binary gives me this in the terminal:

SIGSEGV MAPERR si_code 1 fault on addr 0x198
Aborted (core dumped)

And in Dr Racket it freezes like it's stuck in a loop (one CPU core at 100%)

Well that sucks! Sorry you're running into that. I'm on a laptop with an integrated intel gpu. According to the pict3d docs you could try adding (current-pict3d-legacy? #t) to the top of the file. I am using racket 7.6 'normal' (not CS).

Nice simulation! I didn't think Racket was able to perform well for complex 3d stuff, but it turns out it is :)

Thank you for trying it out!

Like the procedural asteroids and lighting effects! Also plan to borrow your full screen code... ; - )

Note that on my machine, colour on the [3] key (yellow) didn't want to initialize for some reason. All the others worked fine, but for that one I got big black squares instead of bullets...

Developer

Thank you for trying it out!

Wow! I’m impressed. I like the colors you used and the effect when hitting an asteroid is satisfying.

Developer

Thank you!
