I see! Didn't realize the version number changes weren't doing this. Should be fixed now. Thanks!

Okay, this should be fixed. An SDK update made the crank notification not play well with the draw mode I was using.

Thank you for the notification! I'll fix that as soon as possible!

Apologies, but this software is written for the PlayDate handheld (https://play.date/). There are some great astronomy/astrology apps on the Google Play Store you can get, though!

I'm having a hard time reproducing this. Does clearing your user data for Orrery fix the issue? You can do that in the [System -> Games] menu

Thank you for letting me know! Investigating now.

Should be fixed now. Thank you for your patience!

That one was definitely my bad. Should be fixed now.

Thank you for letting me know! Investigating now.

Okay, found a workaround. Please re-download!

Thank you for notifying me! Investigating this now.

Thank you! The Scientific and Diagrammatic modes are both heliocentric, and the Astrological mode is geocentric.

I don't know if it's possible to have a functioning compass on the Playdate. There's an accelerometer, but I'm not sure how I'd figure out which direction north is. In any case, I'll be adding features for viewing other star systems in the future.

... And fixed!

Howdy, all! A day 1 bug was discovered that creates a 1-off error at the end of each month. Reviewing my calculations now to get a fix in ASAP. Thanks for your patience!


My solar system viewer has been released for $1 USD on itch.io! There are a number of updates I'm planning for the next few months to make it even better. If you've been lucky enough to get your hands on a Playdate handheld, I hope you'll check it out and tell me what you think!

Yes! Look for it on the BBS, or just find it through SPLORE

That's great! What are you making it in?
As of the latest update, PICO-8 can also export to .RASPI, so you can run straight out of Raspian. Pretty cool for little arcade projects

It makes you move faster! Good for avoiding light to moderate enemy fire.
