If we live in a simulation run by an advanced computer, does that mean we can hack it? Here's what one scientist says. A Mathematician Thinks He Can Hack Earth's Simulation
Orbiter was developed by Martin Schweiger, a senior research fellow in the computer science department at University College London, [5] who felt that space flight simulators at the time were lacking in realistic physics-based flight models, and decided to write a simulator that made learning physics concepts enjoyable.

SimEarth: The Living Planet is a life simulation game, the second designed by Will Wright, published in 1990 by Maxis. In SimEarth, the player controls the development of a planet. English scientist James Lovelock served as an advisor and his Gaia hypothesis of planet evolution was incorporated into the
Early attempts at 3D space simulation date back as far as 1974's Spasim, an online multi-player space simulator in which players attempt to destroy each other's ships. The earliest known space trader dates to 1974's Star Trader , a game where the entire interface was text-only and included a star map with multiple ports buying and selling 6 ...

The simulation is centered on a typical Space Shuttle mission to service a space station. Mission phases include Earth Lift-Off, Orbital Rendezvous, Approach and Alignment and Docking. [2] It was released for the Apple II in 1982, [2] receiving positive feedback from reviewers. [3]
The launch phase has the player decide whether launch conditions are stable enough to merit launch. If they give the implicit go-ahead, they engage in a light arcade sequence where the player attempts to keep the shuttle on course throughout its orbital burn. The more successful the player is, the closer the shuttle will be to the station.
