Heads Up Display was just finished being built. Created a drawUI() function which basically calculated a bunch of statistics based off other variables in my code. Then it was drawn in a box on the top left. Two different statistics use color indicators to show when its safe to land. Speed turns green when it is below 2 m/s and pitch turns green when it is between pi/2 +- 0.25 radians which are part of the criteria for a successful landing. Additionally, I found it was helpful to include a minimap as the sandbox did not have limits for where the spaceship can go, so it was easy to get lost. By centering the minimap onto the moon and scaling down proportionally to the scale of the moon’s radius, we ensure an effective way for the user to navigate. We draw a line from the moons center in the minimap to the center of the lander in the minimap creating a way for the user to know which direction they should go down. Finally, I created a README.md file and updated it with information, so now I am ready to deploy Stellar Landing Simulator.
