Show HN: Homemade Automated Solar Concentrator
I have developed a simple simulator [0] to estimate the theoretical power received by the target for a given hardware configuration:
- the global position on the planet
- the date and time
- the size and position of some background elements
- the number, size and position of the panels in the grid
The solar power estimation uses :
- the Python code provided in this article [1] to estimate position of the sun (thank you John Clark Craig)
- the simplified formula [2] to estimate the direct insolation from the sun position
- a custom light projection implemented using Panda3D game engine [3]

3D desktop Game Engine scriptable in Python
For open source 3d engines that use Python check out Panda3D or Ursina. They're both a blast to use and let you write your codd how you want.

Alternative Game Engines for Marooned Unity Developers
Panda3D: Let's you make games with c++ and python. I don't think there is an "editor" or anything like that with this engine, but it does look like there have been some decent games made with it. Could be good for smaller games. Modified BSD License.

Game Development Post-Unity
I know a lot of people recommend Godot because it's super good but if you want a more code oriented and batteries included engine I recommend Panda3D [0] it's open source, super mature (it's actually one of the oldest continously developed game engines), and can be used form Python and C++. Not sure why it's not more popular it's flexiable and super fun to use.
