CMPS-3350 Software Engineering - Lab-14

Work with a Space-X booster landing simulator.

Step 1:

Do your work in your 3350/e folder.

1. Log on to Odin server.

2. Get the program:

  $ cd 3350
  $ ./lab-start.sh
  $ cd e
  $ cp /home/fac/gordon/p/3350/code/lab14/* .

3. Build and run.
  
  $ make
  $ ./lab14

4. We will do some programming together to engage a simple auto-pilot.

   Then you will make the booster land itself.

Possible improvements:
 1. Add stars or clouds
 2. Change look of exhaust
 3. Improve the crash explosion
 4. Don't let the exhaust go through the pad or ground
 5. Improve the leg deployment to look like the real thing 
 6. Put the rocket on auto-pilot
