## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 32/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-02T17:46:02.011165+00:00)
- activity 0, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 2307, "days_push": 942, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
A Unity-based solar system simulation experiment by Sebastian Lague, featuring procedural planets, moons, and atmospheric rendering. It accompanies his YouTube coding adventure series and is inspired by Outer Wilds.

## Use cases
- simulate a solar system with orbiting planets
- generate procedural planets and moons
- render atmospheric scattering effects in Unity
- learn how to build a space exploration game
- follow along with a coding tutorial series on solar systems

## When to choose
- you want a reference implementation of procedural planet generation in Unity
- you're learning shaders and space simulation techniques
- you want to recreate Outer Wilds-style planetary visuals

## When to avoid
- you need a physically accurate astronomy or orbital mechanics tool
- you need a production-ready game rather than an experiment
- you don't use Unity or C#

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: simulation, graphics, game-engine
- domain: simulation, graphics
- platform: cross-platform, cpp
- tags: unity, solar-system, procedural-generation, outer-wilds-inspired, educational, shaders, game-development
