Well level three is ready. A week early at that!
For those that haven't been following, I have been writing
a progressive system of star generation. This is not to be confused with
the system design sublist who I believe are working on generating systems
astronically accurately by committee. What I generate is straight out
of the books.
Level three contains almost all of the elements detailed in WBH.
Because of the wealth of data, presentation becomes a problem so there
are several subsidiary programs to display it in a variety of ways. The
core of the whole system is the routines that generate the linked list
representing the system. I wholeheartedly encourage people to use these
routines to generate their own programs to present the data in the way
they find most useful. I have many projects and ideas for development
that I am very eager for people to do while I work towards release 4.
Level four is basically an extension to provide planetary maps.
Physical, temperature, population spread and so forth. I desperately
need someone who knows landscaping fractals, preferably on a triangular
grid. It is scheduled for release on the 1 June but without fractal
algorithms it probably won't see light until 1 July.
Just mail me for a copy. Please report any and all bugs.
Enjoy,
Jo Jaquinta
