Perhaps bit off a bit more than I could chew, but this is a challenge after all.
The idea is a BattleStar Galactica Sim; aliens have destroyed your civilization and you have to escape their fleets that are hunting you around the galaxy.
That's the idea at any rate, at this point it's still extraordinarily bare-bones. So, I'm not expecting high ratings (don't be too mean tho!) instead I just wanted to get something in so I could point to it and say, "I did that!".
UPDATE: Yes, I'm aware that I neglected to tell anyone what is supposed to happen in this game; I had meant to post an update with some fixes but day_job() has been running somewhat constantly. So here's a brief rundown on what is happening.
The red dots are planets. Move along, nothing to see here, yet.
The Blue dots are enemy fleets. Don't worry, they don't attack you right now..
The green dot is your fleet. You can't see it, but there's 41 ships in there, and they all consume food, water and fuel each time you "jump". You jump by clicking a spot in space that's within jump range of the fleet (yeah, I know, can't see it right?) and then hit end of turn.
Woo, tonnes of fun right? Yeah, it's a prototype, not really a game, but I like the idea so PostCompo revs might have some interesting revisions.
