Developing a Space Flight Simulator in Clojure
SMRTR summary
A developer has spent five years creating a sophisticated space flight simulator in Clojure, focusing first on complex 3D graphics including planet rendering, atmospheric effects, and volumetric clouds. The project utilizes numerous libraries including LWJGL for graphics, Jolt Physics for vehicle simulation, and NASA data for planetary rendering, with impressive technical implementations of atmosphere rendering through precomputed scattering tables and planet visualization using multi-resolution map tiles.
