About Golf On Mars
The year is 2866. The planet Mars is 35% terraformed, finally enough to allow the playing of the game of.. Golf!
Golf across an infinite* rocky Martian surface. Discover golfing obstacles that make us Earthlings gasp in awe!
---
*Infinity is impossible to represent on any non-quantum computer. In actuality there are roughly 25,770,000,000 golf holes in this game.
In 2020, NASA will launch the Perseverance rover to search for life and golf on Mars. The journey there will take 200 days,
If you were to play one hole of Golf On Mars every 30 seconds during that journey, you would only be able to complete 0.002% of the game (576000 holes).
If you were a paleolithic hunter-gatherer gazing up at the Red planet one night during your traversal of the ice bridge connecting Russia to Alaska
at the last glacial maximum 24515 years ago and a time traveler brought an iPhone for you and your tribe to ritually play a hole of Golf On Mars every 30 seconds,
it would take until the present day to complete all the holes.
But this is not a realistic simulation.
For example, if the ball is 16 pixels wide on your screen then the typical hole will be 1200 pixels away.
Scaling this to the size of a real ball (1.68 inches), it's as if the hole is only 3.5 yards away!
A realistic 18 hole golf course where the fairways are 3.5 yards away would only require about 1300 square feet of land.
However, gravity on Mars is 38% that of Earth's gravity, so you could hit a ball 7 times farther, or roughly 1400 yards for a good player.
This 18 hole course then needs to be to 64000 square feet. You could cover the entire surface of Mars with 241 billion of these golf courses.
Therefore, you could easily fit all the holes in Golf On Mars on the surface of Mars.
Mars is par 3, so aim to finish in under 77 billion strokes.

Level 42 is amazing. You can softlock yourself and the noise is perfect. Hitting some crazy hits is so fun. After 25 shots you can skip the level if you are bad. Only thing is it needs more rocks.
This and Desert Golf will always remain two of my favorite "infinite" games. The physics in the game are fun, the premise couldn't be more simple, and I have sunk many hours into this and Desert Golf on different platforms because time just melts away...
Very similar to that old Desert Golf game from 10 or 15 years ago, but better. There are some serious problems with the UI (like, for example, that nothing in the game tells you how to impart spin on the ball). Not recommended, due to the impossible holes. Many holes cannot be successfully completed. Most of the time, once you get to 25 strokes or so, a "[skip]" button will become available, otherwise you could never get to the next hole. Fatal flaw. I could always start over... I got up thru somewhere north of 2100 holes before finding a hole that was not possible to complete, and did not offer the [skip] option. So, for me, the game only has 2100 holes, not umpteen billion or whatever.
