LEFT/RIGHT arrow keys turn the spaceship. UP arrow applies thrust. Fly to stars to visit solar systems. Today we calculated which sector the player's ship is in so that we can use that number to figure out which stars to render. In doing so, we broke the star rendering completely so at the moment no stars are ever drawn.
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..
