Celestial Navigation (Gurps Space 4th ed System Generator)

[Nakawaros]

I got delayed by another project, but here you go:

ETA: [11 June 2013] Should be a x86 version and a x64 version now

Current Version: 0.7.1.3 (rc1)

This is a beta version (there's some features missing, the UI needs work, and I still need to do some code improvements.), but it will generate a complete system.

Tell me if you see anything amiss, or features you'd like to see.

(Side note: I use some derived features for some of the things, if that should be changed back to the table, feel free to tell me. I'll get on it when I have some spare time.)

ETA: Moved the file to a non version, so that it's always a current link.
ETA: Now it also is aimed at a .zip rather than .exe

It generates stars only when I run it. -_-

(I'm actually looking for a nice program that allows creating and editing realistic star system, planet by planet. Not necessarily GURPS as long as it provides all the important data.)

[Nakawaros]

The planet editing ability is upcoming. I wanted to test out the generation first - as for pregenerating, I'll consider it.

[Nakawaros]

ALSO: I do plan on replacing the dice rolls with the probablity curve Brett mentioned. It seems to be nicer. I just need to figure out how to.

Wow I was ninjad. I'm halfway through a very similar project. Mine's a little more graphical, though I suspect that can be easily fixed on this project.

Do you mind if I ask for the source code?

[Nakawaros]

Sure. It's in c#, and the code is here:

https://github.com/KoihimeNakamura/CelestialNavigation (master branch)

If you have any improvements, feel free to commit them back (I may need to add you as a repository person though. I'm kinda new to GitHub)

[Langy]

Cool! I may look into this myself; I have an unfinished Java star system creator lying around, though I only got as far as making a graphical image for the star system.

So, just as a note. I started this in Java and moved over to C#. It took quite a bit of time to relearn a few things.

I assume that was for reasons relating to graphics?

and wow there are a lot of half finished versions of this.

[Nakawaros]

Yeah, Windows Forms was easier for me than trying to learn swing.

As for the half-finished, the master branch contains 0.4.3 as of the most recent commit. I was planning on a new UI and adding some planned features, but that needs some planning. 0.4.3 was really kind of a "push out what I have, see if there's any bugs in the base generation I'm missing, then improve it."


ETA: Hum. Something's off about that last commit. I'm missing some objects. One sec.
