Galactic Core Route Plotting Program.

techportal2890 · Mar 9, 2016

So I was exploring around the core and I got an idea instead of pulling out my calculator and entering the "magic number" calculation. I created this simple program in around 10 minutes and so far I have been using it and the program has been working perfectly! I have been plotting routes in under 10 seconds. I also created a steam guide on the topic.

If you find a bug message me and I will fix it ASAP!

Hope this helps fellow explorers! o7

Source Code (Compile in Visual Studio or something):

Code:

#include "stdafx.h" //Only include this if you are using Visual Studio!
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	system("COLOR 1F");

	cout << "Made by CMDR techportal2890" << endl;
	cout << "Version 2.0" << endl;
	cout << "" << endl;
	cout << "" << endl;

	float B1;
	cout << "Enter Max Jump Range Fully Fueled: " << endl;
	cin >> B1;

	cout << "" << endl;

    float B2;
	cout << "Enter Distance to Sagittarius A* in 1000ly (12k = 12): " << endl;
	cin >> B2;

	cout << "" << endl;

	float AOJ = 1000 / (B1*0.985);
	cout << "The Amount of Jumps you get with the number: " << AOJ << endl;

	cout << "" << endl;

	float R = (B1*0.985*AOJ-B2);
	cout << "Use this number to plot your route: " << R << endl;

	cout << "" << endl;
	cout << " If you do not get a plot within 30 seconds, try plotting to another system close by with a slightly different distance!" << endl;



	system("PAUSE");
    return 0;
