Title	Description
CPTS Copter VH-ZGA	Control the motion of an aircraft to simulate a pilot flying from point to point. Uses a joystick to control up down and left right. Uses the keyboard arrows to change the scale factor of the aircraft so when it is going up and down on the screen the scale factor decreases and increases modeling our perception of near and far. Uses two views of the aircraft and controls which view shows using the left and right arrow keys. Uses two variables: fuel and score to give the game verisimilitude.
