Pioneer Space Simulator

Pioneer is a space adventure game set in the Milky Way galaxy at the turn of the 31st century.

The game is open-ended, and you are free to explore the millions of star systems in the game. You can land on planets, slingshot past gas giants, and burn yourself to a crisp flying between binary star systems. You can try your hand at piracy, make your fortune trading between systems, or do missions for the various factions fighting for power, freedom or self-determination.

pioneer's Issues

Landing gear control button is created with wrong state set

Game starts docked, but the landing gear button is created with the wrong state.

Repro:

• Start new game
• Press launch, switch to external view, note that the landing gear is extended (as it should be)
• Press the button to retract the gear, note that nothing happens (which is wrong)
• Press it again, note that the gear now retracts

[known and presumably simple bug -- I'm using it as an opportunity to start understanding the source]

Total lockup during paused game

I loaded a saved game that's paused in the entryway to the docking port of Mars High. I left the game paused at that point for perhaps half an hour. The forward view changed to the outside star view as if the hanger model disappeared, and the game locked up. Nothing i tried would get me control of the computer. I finally had to hit the reset button.

Please allow inverted mouse

It would be much easier for a lot of us if you were to have an inverted mouse control (a flag that would replace "m_mouseY += mouseMotion[1] * 0.002;" with "m_mouseY += -mouseMotion[1] * 0.002;" in Player.cpp).

Beautiful work, and thanks!!!

x64 support

I am having problems running this on both Ubuntu maverick x64 and windows 7 x64.
My hardware is ATI HD Radeon 2400 pro, 1gig of ram and AMD Athlon 64bit X2 Dual Core 3800+ .

On Windows7 after I try and launch the game the monitor seems to switch off with an out of range message until I kill the game.

On Ubuntu Maverick 64bit I get this error message:

tretle@ubuntu:~/pioneer$ ./src/pioneer
