krpc VS MDK-SE

There used to be https://krpc.github.io/krpc/ but no longer maintained AFIAK

Nevermind. The fix outlined here fixed the issue. Thanks for the quick fix on that! Looking forward to the 0.5.1 update!

It is one of the best games out there for doing actual learning while playing a game, and is respected among people who actually work on real life space programs. If you want to engage in programming through it, I recomment kRPC, which provides a protocol for interfacing it with external programs, so you can write your rocket controls in a number of actual programming languages.

I was able to work around this to manually install into my virtual environment instead of going through pip: https://github.com/krpc/krpc/issues/624

Potentially with kRPC will let you get the data and it supports various programming languages but I have very limited experience with it (basic launch scripts) but I know a lot is possible

Get Kerbal Space Program and use the kRPC mod to control it from your favorite programming language (Python, C++, etc.). Take a rocket, launch it into orbit, deorbit it, and propulsively soft-land it back onto the pad. For extra credit, artificially add noise/dropout to your sensor inputs, and then do the same thing.

It's controlled via the KRPC mod. Its a very good mod for what it is and is a greate alternative to KOS.

If you want to learn an actual language but still want KSP to be involved, another option may be kRPC (if it still exists nowadays), which allows you to write code that interacts with KSP in any compatible language like Python.

I should have wrote it in the description, but i did have a thorough look at the guide, and i got the {ActivateBehavior} from the https://github.com/malware-dev/MDK-SE/wiki/List-Of-Terminal-Properties-and-Actions in the guide.

I've been trying to get Visual Studio set up so I have something better than the in-game editor. I tried installing the .vsix file to get this working, but when I try to run it, I get an error saying "The type initializer for `PerTypeValues'1` threw an exception."

I would assume it would inherit the TimerBlock interface as a starting point, but I have no experience of adding terminal options. Have a look at https://github.com/malware-dev/MDK-SE/wiki/The-Grid-Terminal-System for the basics, and you might want to try the official Discord #modding-programming channel or other modding channels to find more experienced users to ask/get advice from.

Copy-pasting is your best bet. As far as I know, there’s only one alternative and it’s actually worse. You can use the Malware Dev Kit extension for visual studio. It has a “Publish” action that will export the full script to your local scripts folder (%APPDATA%/SpaceEngineers/IngameScripts/local), and then you’ll be able to load it into a programmable block in-game

The best place to start is Malware's DevKit for SE: https://github.com/malware-dev/MDK-SE/wiki
