What!?!? Humanity has discovered wormholes! Control the deep space probe Oracle 1, as you journey through space. What kind of planets are there out there in the depths of space?

Use your command terminal to guide the probe through the depths of space by instructing it to weave between the stars!

Guide:

Your job is to send commands to the Oracle 1 probe via your terminal.

Generally, your interface should look like this:

there are 3 commands you can send:
1. Thrust
2. Rotate
3. Wait

You can add them to your terminal by clicking their respective buttons

For each function, you can modify the Parameters to influence how each action behaves.

By clicking on the parameters (Circled here) a dropdown will apear showing options.

1. Thrust:
- Param1 - Duration: How many seconds to thrust for
- Param2 - Power: How powerful of a thrust to execute

2. Rotate:
- Param1 - Degrees: How many degrees to rotate clockwise (or negative for counterclockwise)

3. Wait:
- Param1 - Duration: do nothing for a duration

Note that each of these is color coded:
- Green -> Thrust
- Yellow -> Rotate
- Grey -> Wait

When you execute your commands by clicking the `reset` button, a line will follow, the color indicating what command was ran during that segment of the path.
