LEFT/RIGHT arrow keys turn the spaceship. UP arrow applies thrust. Fly to stars to visit solar systems. Today was a short session but we fixed our handling of the wrap-around universe by making a star-free buffer region around the galaxy. We also fixed some camera movement bugs that happened when the ship wrapped around. This should conclude the most basic ship navigation functions for our game.
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..
