Roadmap

Upcoming features i wish to add to the program.

• Telemetry mode: a near-real time telemetry view of the current launch, featuring things like vertical and horizontal speed, as well as altitude.

• Launch specification: A way of simply following the progress of a single launch at a time, instead of the program deciding what is best.

• Low power mode: A mode which will throttle the refresh time from 1 second, to five seconds, in the default view. Allowing for an even more efficient version of the program.

• custom user color schemes for different launch status types

• Historical launch "replays" for the telemtry mode: does what it says on the tin, allows you to specify a launch, for the telemetry mode to replay in a 1 second refresh view

• Hackerman mode: A less efficient view mode, which randomly changes some of the characters to another character and draws the modified buffer instead of the original, but in a "Matrix Green" font style

• "Wiki" mode: A way of looking at information on a specific launch, agency, rocket, launchpad, or country (generated as the data is located, to prevent)
