Hello,

I´m developing a space simulator app for android and I wanted to ask permission to talk about it in the forum.

I know it's against the forum rules to promote non SpaceEngine sanctioned games but since this app was inspired by Space Engine and I name both Space Engine and Vladimir in the credits I think you could make an exception.

Obviously my app won't come even close to Space Engine in terms of detail and scale, but I think you may find it interesting.

Regards


Excellent work! smile

Orbiter is a joke

Huh? Are you serious? Orbiter is a great sim, and it certainly is no joke.

Quote (Martek)
Does anyone have a torrent for this? If not, I could probably make one.

Do you mean a torrent for gpaw5765's app? Again, are you serious?


Yes sir, I am dead serious on the torrent idea. Also, I'd like to say why I don't like orbiter. Because the Community was mean to me and harassed me and cyber bullied me back in the year 2000. It wasn't nice at all. But thats another story smile

So... you're belittling a program not because you actually have any problem with it, but because a few people who were connected with it did some things to you that you didn't like 13 years ago? That doesn't make any sense at all. And did they really bully you without provocation, or did you do or say some things to them that might have made them unfriendly to you? Not that that makes much difference in this case since that is still a nonsensical reason to dislike the software itself.

And you really don't see the problem there? Coming into this thread where someone has posted about an app they've created, and then asking for a way to steal said app and/or allow other people to steal it? That seems like the same kind of mean and disrespectful behavior you were just criticizing a moment ago, and it will not be allowed on this forum. So stop it.

Actually, that is called an opinion. If SpaceEngine is free, then why does this guy have to charge for his program on a forum that is giving the software away for free? I think that's scamming as well, in my opinion. I have free speech and so it is allowed on the forum. Last I checked, Hitler doesn't run this forum, nor Stalin, it is fair to say. But that is my opinion. Why should he charge and promote his program on this forum if Space Engine is charging nothing? Again, the guy who created the app needs to stop scamming people thats why I am inclined to release the torrent after further review so people don't get scammed in buying a program that should be free in the first place. Nothing is wrong with that and this conversation is over, okay. I don't want to be hijacking a thread based on opinion. Thank you.

Forums are the same as private property. You don't have the right to freedom of speech on the forums, by joining you agreed to the rules. The rules are clear, talking about illegal activities is not allowed and piracy is always going to be a big issue.

Fair enough. I just think that the app shouldn't be promoted on here seeing how he ias asking for money and Space Engine doesn't do that. That's why I'm a bit heated and pressed on not buying into the should be free program. I see no benefit to his app to Space Engine if he's charging for his own gain.

Well you are always welcome to make your own software, spend your time doing all that work, and giving it away for free.

I recall you have tried this lame run-away tactic before on this forum. Sorry, but you can't simply 'end' a conversation on a public forum when it doesn't go your way. If you post something questionable, people will respond to it accordingly whether you like it or not.

And for your information, what you did is wrong, because asking for help with torrenting non-free software is piracy and is a blatant violation of forum rules. Piracy is illegal. If you did not like how gpaw5765 advertised his software and thought it didn't belong on this forum, then you should have reported the post to a moderator and let them deal with it.

In the future, please think before you post. Thanks.

He invoked Godwin's law, so he has forfeited his chances in this forum.

SE and gpaw's app are not the same program, it is his own software. And he's not charging for it here, he's just saying "hey everybody, look what I made", just like plenty of other people have done.

His app does not constitute a scam. If he was trying to sell a distro of SE for money, then that would be a scam. But he is selling his own software - at a very modest price I might add - and that is certainly no scam. The only person trying to genuinely rip anyone off here is you by wanting to steal, or facilitating the theft of, his software. If you ever do that again you will not be welcome on this forum anymore.

Well, then don't buy it and don't use it...

Yes something is wrong with that. A lot.

You can not unilaterally end a discussion. The most you can do is to stop participating (and even then you would do well to read the replies).

Quote (midtskogen)

I don't like to automatically dismiss anyone who does that since I make similar analogies nearly every day (because I'm extremely unoriginal and hyperbolic) but you are right in this case.



Martek, this is not the first time you've been aggressive and adversarial on this forum and been blatantly contemptuous of the rules and claimed that you have unlimited rights and that no one can do anything about it. You are wrong. If you behave in this standoffish way again, you will take a compulsory break from this forum. If you break the rules again in any major way, be it by discussing something like this torrent or anything else that I or any other moderator or admin considers a "major" violation, you will be banned. Consider this your final warning.

I thought I told you the F'n discussion is over dude. I said that because I have a short fuse and you do not F'n own me. You got that? My opinion is my opinion, you don't like it piss off. As I stated to everyone. The conversation is over. Anything you say forth to that regard is deemed harassment so back off. Ban me all you want but I have the freedom to tell you to piss off AKA take a hike. Its not like I can't register again. I have hundreds of IPs so the correct thing for you to do is quit harassing me about the subject and leave me the F alone. Now i'll say this again, go away and leave me alone about this. And don't even try and powertrip me. You're a horrible moderator to begin with and if you don't like my opinion on how horrible you are, tough luck, pal.

QUIT PROVOKING ME DUDE. If you want me to be peaceful then don't bother me.

You are not the one who decides when the conversation ends. Other people have the right to voice their opinions just as much as you do.

You will now take a break from these forums. Hopefully you will learn to behave during that time.

Creation of double accounts is also against the rules and will result in permanent banning.

Oh for **** sakes, do you really think you're fooling anyone? It's no wonder why you had 'trouble' with the people on the Orbiter forums.

Take some time off the forums and do some growing up. Take all the time you need.

Edit: Oops, looks like the post I responded to just got deleted. Probably for the best.

For the enlightenment of others who missed it, Martek created an alt posing as a new person and tried to continue his raging/trolling.

I have created another astronomy app, this time for watching the orbits of Near-Earth Asteroids. The asteroid's positions are calculated using standard keplerian orbits so they are not 100% accurate, but they are good enough approximations.
This is not as interesting as my previous app, but it's still cool to have an idea of the amount of dangerous asteroids out there. The full version moves over 1000 asteroids in real time!
