Mankind have established Moonbase Apollo, on a distant moon. A few spacemen including you are assigned to setup the base and pave the way for establishing a colony.

But the task is not easy, as natural resources are rare in this remote part of the universe. For the colony to survive you have to mine the asteroids nearby and bring these natural resources back to base.

Flying amongst asteroids is not easy. But nothing is impossible.

Finish all missions assigned to you by Moonbase Apollo, as everything depends on you.

Dependencies can be installed using the requirements.txt file included in the package.

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

The main dependencies are:

• Python 2.7 (required)
• Pyglet v1.2alpha1 (required)
• Wasabi.geom (required)
• Lepton (recommended) - for explosions and special effects. Public version of lepton is buggy on 64-bit architectures. Use the working version included in our source package.
• AVBin (recommended) for playing music

Open a terminal window, "cd" into the game directory and run:

$ python game.py

HOW TO PLAY:

The following input keys are used for this game:

Tractoring and Delivery: Some missions might require you to tractor an object to a destination. To start tractoring an object, move your ship over that object, and a tractor beam will pick it up automatically.

To deliver a tractored item, move slowly close to the delivery point. Be careful not to crash, or accidentally kill your tractored object.
