Astrolabe#

Abstract#

High-precision planetary simulator, written in uxn-tal, using CORDIC methods to evaluate Kepler’s laws of planetary motion. The main spectacle of it is to see the planets moving against a star-field in realtime.

What’s done#

Research on fixed point calculations, simulations of fixed point sine and cosine accuracy in spreadsheets. (TODO: link to spreadsheets?)

What’s next#

Implement Kepler’s Equation solver.
