LEFT/RIGHT arrow keys turn the spaceship. UP arrow applies thrust. Fly to stars to visit solar systems. NOTE: SOLAR SYSTEMS CANNOT BE VISITED. Today we started making a system for loading stars from lists of star-properties on the fly which will allow us to have hundreds or thousands of stars. Something about this process broke our ability to enter star systems and generate planets so at the moment when you visit a star system, there are no planets to be found.
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..
