Starship 2D simulator

Hello everyone! I am new to this forum although I have been using Processing for a while now.

I wanted to share with you this simulator I have been working on lately. It is a veeery simplified simulation that re-creates the final part of the re-entry of Starship back to the launch tower.

Since I’m a control engineer, this is mainly meant to play a little bit with thrust vectoring and see if you can manage to land successfully. I’d say this could be a cool tool for people that are just starting to learn the basics of control engineering.

Here follows the link to the GitHub repository. If any of you is interested in this kind of stuff and wants to try it, please let me know, I would be very grateful! If you run the code as it is, there is already an implementation of a controller that succeeds the landing. Following the README of the repository, you should be able to understand how to implement yours!
