Hmm, I'll have to give this a look...

edit: hmm, nifty, though moving ships was a bit confusing to figure out (left click then right mouse button drag)... and you can zoom in so far that the world flips over... and I can't figure out how to end my turn!

...Isn't the readme in there? * Scratches head. Can't remember what the last upload was.

Anyway, 'e' to end turn, 'enter' to start turn, 'r' for last turn replay, 'q' to exit replay.
Ships have a 2/5ths chance of capturing an enemy star (The readme incorrectly says 1/3). Unoccupied stars are free to the first taker. Either way, you loose the ship.
Stars produce ships on a semi-random basis every 2-4 turns.

And it only took me six days!

Anyway, what do you think of it?

And does anybody know anything about vectors? I'm trying to make my intercept code take acceleration into account.

If you do and want to help, I'm on IRC.

Anyone know of a good webhost? I've got ambitious plans for a forum...Can't keep leaching on this one for the game.

Oh, and the current version is having trouble working. I uploaded a release version instead of a publish version - Tell me how it goes?

(The game start menu doesn't actually do much, although you do need to click 'Add Empire' at least twice and then hit 'Start Game'.)
