This was a game i was working on in my spare time for a few years using JPCT shaders are done in GLSL 2.*

I didn't really have any plans or an idea of what i would consinder "done", which is probably my progress was sporadic and lopsided( for me graphics was more fun than trying to come up with actual gameplay ) Some features:

         *Orbits for satellites are done using conic sections(this was made from C code for finding tangents to cones)
         *The planet has a thin atmosphere, done using someone else shader re-implented to get working on Android
         *launchable satellites , they look like stars, that fire lasers at incoming enemies.
         *Buttons are drawn using textures and shaders for signed distance fields.
         *planet textures are done with a perlin noise texture(not mine)
         *city lights on the plants nightside are also done using procedural noise in shader textures.
         *City lights, lasers and the aura have a glow effect.
         *A radar mode that gives everything a monochrome CRT look(i think i was playing DEFCON a lot when i decided to implement this)
         *An aura borealis and an aura australis
         *I was also trying to use GLSL to code changing cloud textures.
         *some newer files are using Kotlin as i was trying to learn that also when it came out.

The biggest lesson i learnt from this was to maybe start a plan an actual goal in sight. I ended up working on a ton of "features" with little gameplay
