Solar System

Thanks for reviewing my Solar System Project!

Run-time instructions:

• Click "FASTER" or "SLOWER" to change speed.
• Click on a planet to observe it from the sun's perspective; right-click to restore original perspective.

Added elements:

• Added Mercury, Venus and Mars planets
• Planet sizes are proportionally scaled (Sun and Moon are not).
• Added shadows
• Added directional lights on top and bottom of Sun (for lighting to work well, otherwise spot-light casts shadow behind Mercury regardless of planet and sun size).
• Modified Rotation script with optional parameter “days”; alternate way to control speed to make it easier to have proportional rotation and translation speeds between planets - planets' rotation and translation are proportionally scaled
• Added Faster/Slower control “buttons” that allow to change how fast is "1 day" (To create buttons used empty object + sprite + 2D Box collider + OnMouseDown script + Globals class for static variable to control timing)
• Modified LookAtTarget script to have a different behavior; when a planet or comet is clicked, camera position is change to be on top of the sun and follows the object from there; right-click restores camera default position.
