Gozinya SpaceWelcome to the first installment of SimpleRockets Chat (SRC) activities! Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to rescue Yuri and Sally. They are two intrepid Droonauts whose pod was damaged during reentry into the atmosphere, and landed hopelessly far off course.
You have 5 minutes to reach the capsule, exit the Droonauts, and get them a safe distance away before the capsule explodes.

SimpleRockets Chat Discord Server (join now!): discord.gg/HFJ6jkpMFD Tutorial #2: Widgets & Coordinates || Simple Rockets 2Gozinya Space2020-12-20 | Hey droods, today I bring you the second in a series of tutorial videos showing how to program your own multi-function display (MFD). The MFD part type was released in October, 2020 as part of the ‘Taking Control’ update. They are quite complex, and require a basic working knowledge of the visual programming language, Vizzy. However, my hope is that after watching this series you will feel more confident in creating your own custom MFD!
Here is what I cover in this video: 1. The different types of widgets and how they look on the MFD 2. The default coordinate system for widget size and position 3. Creating a custom virtual coordinate system
4. Designing MFDs for universal usability

The GIF is made using my logo drawing technology to generate and animate a series of images. The music is made using the Universal Muzak Composer v3.0 (link below).
Here are links to the crafts on the SR2 website. Enjoy!!!
Made with the Universal Muzak Composer v3.0: simplerockets.com/c/94D1Fi/Universal-Muzak-Composer-v3-0Muzak Composer v3.0 || Simple Rockets 2Gozinya Space2020-11-23 | The Universal Muzak Composer is a user-friendly Vizzy program where you can simply and easily compose your own musical scores for direct playback in-game.
This video is my way of saying thanks to the Jundroo development team for the latest ‘Taking Control’ update 0.9.5 for SimpleRockets 2.
The update comes with a ton of new features and perks, including the ability to display any of the icons, or SPRITES, in the game using the new Multi-Function Display (MFD) part. This is a really fun feature, but also allows for us to create very interesting custom user interfaces that match the game’s overall aesthetic.
I paired this new sprite display function with the amazing ability to play music in game. The only editing I did on this video is to add the robot voiceover.
Enjoy!!!Vizzy Music to My Ears || Simple Rockets 2Gozinya Space2020-10-23 | Hey Droods, I hope you’re all staying safe! Over the next few weeks, and possibly months, I’m going to be showing you some of the new features that the latest game update brings. The update is still in beta for now, but you can easily download it through Steam for PC, TestFlight for iOS, or the Google Play store for Android.
This new update is chock full of great features and improvements, and it’s been so cool seeing all the new creations on the website. Today I’m going to showcase a possibly overlooked feature that came with the new Vizzy. As all of you know, Vizzy is the game’s visual programming language, and has been generally used for automating craft instructions. Now, with the new update, there is also a simple feature to create beep sounds. We’re going to test that feature to really challenge its capabilities…
The Drood is a fully programmable and positionable anatomical model built entirely in Simple Rockets 2 and programmed using the in-game language, Vizzy. Each joint is separately movable, and any position may be created and logged for future use. Sequences of moves may be stored easily and replicated to create gestures or dance moves (like the moon walk!).
Please enjoy!!!Make Save Locations Great Again || Simple Rockets 2Gozinya Space2020-10-09 | Hi guys, today I give you a video telling you everything you never wanted to know (and more) about save locations in Simple Rockets 2.
Here is what I cover in this video: 1. Crash course on how save locations work and how they are stored 2. Show you how to edit and fix save locations that you don’t like 3. Create totally new save locations in order to visit other planets or discover new locations!

Today I bring you: Foxtrot The Sergal! He’s such a dominant player, and will likely remain the highest-ranked player on the SR2 website for a long time to come.

Watch me build a replica of the XJ-6 Airspeeder (aka Bounty Hunter Pursuit) from the LEGO Star Wars Episode II (Attack of the Clones) collection. The build itself took me about 90 minutes, but I’ll show you guys a time lapse just to give you a feel for how these LEGO builds come together.
The major upgrade for this build is a complete overhaul of my hover script. I now am controlling all three directions (roll, pitch, and yaw) with independent PIDs, while still allowing for user input to turn the craft. I also included a ‘ground collision avoidance’ system to prevent inadvertent crashes during low flying.
I really hope you all enjoy this craft! Please don’t forget to leave a comment with feedback.Vizzy Terrain Mapper - It Works! || Simple Rockets 2Gozinya Space2020-09-18 | I’m excited to bring you the finalized Vizzy Terrain Mapper! I honestly can’t believe it works as well as it does. Using the TextMeshPro formatting, I’ve created a 15x15 pixel grid (can be changed in the Vizzy code) representing the terrain gradients surrounding the craft. Works at distances up to 50km away and handles terrain height differentials up to 1,000m.
Music: ‘No Way Jose’ by Werner Tautz (licensed by Apple iMovie)Vizzy Terrain Mapper - Part 1 || Simple Rockets 2Gozinya Space2020-09-14 | In this video, I’m starting a new project to eventually create an ‘augmented reality’ terrain display using Vizzy and the Rich Text formatting features offered in the game. I like this project because it combines a lot of different aspects of math, coding, and little tricks to make it work. I hope you enjoy working through this problem with me, and I would appreciate a comment if you have an idea to solve some of the tougher problems.

I could think of no better person to highlight than Kelly for the very first vid. She’s a great designer and phenomenal coder, and it was a blast highlighting some of her work.

I’ll show you how to get the right mobile app (Koder), find your craft XML files, and make some basic edits to create a neat engine ‘lightning’ effect.
Personal Note: this craft was a ton of fun to make. I had to remove all of the interior work that is in the LEGO set to keep part count reasonable. After making it, I scaled it up 40x so that it’s about 900m long. It can barely support its own weight on the ground, so I included an automatic hover feature that keeps it airborne as soon as you load the craft. Enjoy!Lost and Alone || Simple Rockets 2Gozinya Space2020-07-17 | A short cinematic film made entirely in SimpleRockets 2. The only post-process editing I did on video was to green screen in the space station. All other animations are automated scripts in the game. I really hope you like this; it took me FOREVER to make, and I’m going to take a break before I attempt another cinematic.

Music: Mambo Jambo by Patrick Warren (Licensed by Apple iMovie)
Personal Note: It’s hard to believe, but this is my highest-upvoted craft to date on the SR2 website (as of Sep 2020). It took me about 45 minutes to write the code, and about 2 hours to shoot and edit the video for it (go figure). I had fun coming up with the concept, and I plan to use it eventually for base-building in situations where I can’t find a level spot.Craft Feature: Millennium Falcon (The Hangar Move) || Simple Rockets 2Gozinya Space2020-07-05 | Link to craft on SR2 website: simplerockets.com/c/OwMyMS/Lego-Millennium-Falcon
Music: Ain’t No Other Way (Jingle Punks)
Personal Note: I had fun making this one. Quality is pretty low because I shot it on my iPhone before I got my iPad. Despite that, I think the video accurately captures my frustration in trying to nail this one specific move.Craft Feature: Mos Eisley Cantina || Simple Rockets 2Gozinya Space2020-07-04 | Link to craft on SR2 website: simplerockets.com/c/vOAwav/Lego-Mos-Eisley-Cantina

Personal Note: I realize this isn’t a rocket, or a plane, or a rover. But it was a fun exercise making and coding it to sync with music.
