A 2d space game where you can explore the galaxy and where you can make friends or enemies with alien species. This game is currently WIP, but that's the goal.
- 2 people can fight each other in different space ships.
- 6 Different ships
- 1-2 different weapons per ship
- Weapons with automatic guiding system
- You can explore 2 systems.
- Dynamic zooming in on the nearest planet.
- Ability to land on a planet and collect resources.
- You can trade resources and outfit your ship in any starbase.
- A planets surface is automatically generated by perlin noise.
- You can leave and enter systems by travelling through hyperspace.
- You can open an interactive star map with 'm'.
- There is no story implemented yet, but you can find some ideas that are likely to get into the game here.
- You might meet alien fleets which(at the moment) automatically engage in combat.
- You can change which keys you need to press to fire/turn/thrust in Settings.
- You can change colors of all menu items in the Settings.
- You can select which ship the players will get in the multiplayer mode.
You don't need to download any libraries(isn't that great?)!
You can compile it however you want. I personally use eclipse to do that, but the project should be compatible with other ways to compile it.
To run it you can either use your IDE or execute the main class(Main.java).
This project will take a long time to complete if I work on it all by myself. I appreciate any help I can get.
If you want to help make sure to read the contributing guideline first.
I would really appreciate some storylines or similar. You can add your ideas to this list using a pull request.
All ship graphics were made by Joshua Wenzel.
The other graphics were made by me or are from the public domain.
I also wrote all the code, but that may change.
