Interstellar Game Lets You Create Your Own Solar System, Explore Using The Ship From The Film
Paramount Pictures has released an app to promoteChristopher Nolan’sInterstellar:
The app takes players on a journey through solar systems designed by players, featuring realistic physics conceptualized byKip Thorne, the film’s scientific advisor and noted theoretical physicist. Players create their own unique solar system with planets, moons, asteroids and more, and travel through other player-created systems in the Endurance, the ship from the film. See how far you can pilot the Endurance without running out of fuel or losing time relative to Earth. Sling-shot through solar systems using real-world physics and gravitational forces. Use wormholes to jump to new systems and survive the ultimate challenge of traveling past a black hole.

The Interstellar game app involves two real-world factors of space travel:
I love that the app isn’t a mindless game and actually takes into account real science which promotes learning how the universe functions. That said, I found the app to be a bit more complicated than expected and, well, dry — but the more I played with it the more I got out of it. But I guess some people could say the same exact things about Nolan’s films. Here are some of the things you can do in the Interstellar game app:
For now, the Interstellar game app is availableto play in-browseror you can download it for freein the Google Play store, but it will also be coming to iOS next week as well as a free app. And yes, the header photo is a new Interstellar poster which premiered yesterday onYahoo.
