LEFT/RIGHT arrow keys turn the spaceship. UP arrow applies thrust. Fly to stars to visit solar systems. Today we finished up our handling of star-rendering, so we are successfully rendering all of the stars near the player at all times. This introduced a small bug where stars pop in and out of existence when you wrap around the edge of the galaxy. Next time we will address this bug.
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..
