terminal-space 0.2.0

A text-based space trading game

Terminal Space

Terminal Space is a text-based space trading and exploration game that was inspired by TradeWars 2002 and several other space trading, elite-type games such as Space Trader and Space Rangers.

Features

1. Full screen text-based interface
2. Single and multi-player modes (with standalone server)
3. TradeWars 2002 concepts like sectors, planets, ports, and ships

It currently implements the TradeWars basics of a universe, sectors, and ports, but will next be taken in new directions.

Roadmap

• 0.1 (released) - Basic client/server model with structured text ui and simple TW2002 gameplay
• 0.2 - Play with some generated animation bits
• 0.3 - Who knows...maybe turn-based combat ala JRPGs?
