Description

Fly around as a space ship. Move by entering orbit around planets. The "slingshot" effect accelerates you in orbit. Pick up space pollutants and dump them in the space dumpsters. Controls: space: Press to enter orbit of the closest planet. Release to leave orbit. While in orbit you will accelerate. This is my first release of a pygame game. Looking for feedback on if this could develop into a fun game. Ideas on how to develop this futher. Am having a lot of fun with pygame and would like to continue with a game that others can enjoy. All feedback welcome.

This is pretty cool. Took me a few tries to figure out. 100 points, I win! :) Great looking code, makes it a breeze to snoop around under the hood. =) Other than the obvious--a gimmick for interstellar travel in a broader space-themed game--I can't think of an application for this, but if something occurs to me I will post it.
