terminal-space 0.1.1

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 soon be taken in new directions.

Roadmap

• 0.1 (released) - Basic client/server model with structured text ui and simple TW2002 gameplay
• 0.2 - Explore turn-based combat ala JRPGs like Octopath. Focus on game mechanics.
• 0.3 - Server and client saving, maybe host a game
• 0.4 - Who knows...
