LEFT/RIGHT arrow keys turn the spaceship. UP arrow applies thrust. Fly to stars to visit solar systems. Today we continued working on using lists of data to allow us to create and destroy star clones to avoid hitting the Sractch clone limit. We also fixed a lot of bugs. At the moment we may or may not have a bug involving planet generation, and we only ever show the stars that are close to the player when they initially enter the galaxy.
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..
