OMA-LANDER

A faithful Lunar Lander arcade recreation for Omarchy Linux, inspired by the 1979 Atari vector cabinet. Built with Love2D — pure Lua, vector line graphics, procedural terrain, procedurally generated audio.

The lander itself is drawn as an Apollo Lunar Module silhouette: wide octagonal descent stage, angular ascent-stage cabin, splayed A-frame legs with saucer foot pads and surface probes, descent engine bell, docking tunnel, rendezvous radar, and triangular cockpit windows.

Escape	Back / quit

Gameplay

Select a mission difficulty, then pilot the LM down through procedurally-generated lunar terrain to a marked landing pad. The camera tracks you and zooms in as you descend — altitude, horizontal and vertical speed, fuel, score and time are on the HUD.

Mission difficulties

Mission	Gravity	Fuel	Notes
CADET	8	1000	Training — low gravity, extra fuel
PILOT	12	750	Standard mission
COMMANDER	16	600	Heavier pull, less fuel
ASTRONAUT	22	500	Elite — extreme gravity

Landing pads

Three pads are placed on each generated map, each with a score multiplier. Narrower pads pay more:

Label	Width	Multiplier
2X	widest	× 2
3X	medium	× 3
5X	narrowest	× 5

Landing results

Your touchdown is graded by vertical speed, horizontal speed and tilt at contact:

Result	Required	Score	Fuel bonus
A PERFECT LANDING	on pad, v<8, h<15, tilt<5°	50 × mult	+50
GOOD LANDING	on pad, v<15, h<30, tilt<15°	25 × mult	+25
ROUGH LANDING	on pad, v<25, h<45, tilt<25°	10 × mult	—
YOU MISSED THE LANDING AREA	off pad, survivable	5	—
CRAFT DESTROYED	else	0	—

Run out of fuel and the mission ends. Top-10 high scores are saved locally; enter three initials on a new high score.
