Work in progress. Web-based tool for finding ore in Dual Universe.
The ore locator uses a technique similar to triangulation. By getting 4 distance readings from the in-game scanner, combined with player positions at the point where the scanner pinged, it is possible to pretty precisely predict the location of the ore, assuming:
The Ore Locator uses the ceres solver.
The algorithm, in depth, is as follows:
I'll happilly accept data on the radius of each planet in DU :)
When doing developed, use a local HTTP server, for example python:
python -m http.server
Running the above command in the folder where this README is located will makes the ore locator available under localhost:8000.
