Star Trader Game (In-progress)
Re: Star Trader Game (In-progress)
This has turned out to be quite an interesting programming puzzle. The game itself may not be that interesting, but the implementation is interesting. It is much more complex than I initially thought, both in the data structures and game logic. I have some ideas for adding depth to the game, so hopefully it won't be a complete bust. I decided to go with just a text presentation as the graphics didn't look right with the text. Still a long way to go but I feel good about the direction. This project is more about me getting back into the programming groove than the game and it is working. I am getting back into the groove. Like riding a bike I guess.

Have you seen / played Starflight ? ... I see a lot of simularities with what your trying to build ... check out the youtube video below
1991 Starflight - Sega Genesis/ Megadrive - First 30 minutes Longplay @ Player Clothing (Youtube Channel) *Read the comments!
Lot's of ideas and inspiration for your game project... also checkout Eve Online , Trade & Markets are a central feature.
*Starflight is one of the few great games that never got a proper reboot/remake ... and as it's also one of my favorite games I decided to list it as a 'Suggestion' in the FreeBASIC Game Developers Guild 'Post' ... making a game is hard as you know, and most projects are just a fun challenge for the creator ... The idea of the Game Dev Guild is to 'work together' on to create something a bit more 'polished & ambitiuos' than one person could achieve on there own.
