PyTrek-9000 1.0.4

Classic Cross-Platform 'StarTrek' Game

---

PyTrek 9000

---

The original free-and-open Star Trek console game was THE most played game of the day .... back in the 1970's!

Originally written in B.A.S.I.C, from C/C++, FORTRAN, C#, Python 2 ... and now Python 3, many have been inspired to re-create, improve, and / or simply experiment with the concept.

So far:

• Converted from Python 2, to Python 3.

• Changed in-system coordinates to simple 'chess like' (b,4 (etc)) references.

• Added random event Quips – should make the game a tad more ‘NPC’?

• Added that classic sublight / in system propulsion system. Warp speeds engines are now a seperate navigational system.

• Warp speed selection changes game time. (Thanks Loondas!)

• Heavily re-factored for growth, testing, re-use, and maintenance using modern Python.

Original authors did an excellent job - made the modernization a WHOLE LOT easier!

Feel free to do a 'Kirk here - learn how to code a Kobayashi Maru?

Thinking about adding mult-user / networked features? -Then here is a good video to assist with those networking 'Py-spirations.

Enjoy the journey,
