LEFT/RIGHT arrow keys turn the spaceship. UP arrow applies thrust. Fly to stars to visit solar systems. Today we made a system for generating planets on the fly when the player visits a star so that we can have more planets in the galaxy than would fit in Scratch's clone limit. Next we do the same for stars.
This project is part of an ongoing video/stream series where we are making a game from Scratch. We stream every weekday from 12pm to 1pm EST on Twitch and we archive the videos on youtube. See www.builtfromscratch.net for links to the stream, video archive, and other details..
