Rings and black holes

[Chopedham]

Hello... New here. I just bought the program and I've been messing with it all day. Gotta say I love the hell outta it! 

Anyways, I have two questions. First, is it possible to add multiple rings that are not on the same plane? I tried rotating the planet with no success. Secondly, how does one create a black hole?

Thanks

P.S. Did I mention this is the most addictive thing I've ever played?

Ok, I figured out the black holes... (ctrl-w) but I'm still lost on the rings.

The rings are pretty possible... its just that you have to shoot an object and put it on bounce mode. It should make the planet rotate randomly. I don't know if it works, but I used that technique in US1.

Well, what I mean is like... a tilt. Imagine a planet with with one ring tilted like "/" and another like "\" ...like a planet x I guess.

Is this possible?

Probably not.

Poo.

I was able to do it once! I rotated the planet and I was all 

But now it doesnt....

First, is it possible to add multiple rings that are not on the same plane?

You used to be able to hold down the control key to rotate a body independently of their rings, but I accidentally broke this when I setup using the Control key to select multiple bodies. I'll fix this in the next release (2.0.4).

So in version 2.0.4 you can create a ring, then hold down the Ctrl key as you rotate the body. Then create a new ring and they will be on different planes.

Secondly, how does one create a black hole?

I've just added a popup option to radius so this can be done entirely with the mouse (this will be in 2.0.4). And now when you choose to lock Mass or Density when you select black hole. Soon you'll be able to create black holes with the same density as the Earth.

Ctrl+W works (although this keyboard shortcut may change in a future release).

Awesome. Thanks for your purchase.
