A new star system generator
Posted: 20.07.2004, 16:09
I created a new fictional star system generator for Celestia. It works very well. It will create a completely random star system, you just enter the name of the star system and and the size of the star, and the program will create the rest in a ssc file. You will never know what the star system will look like until you go there. It will also add rings for gas giant planets, I threw in a few comets, and it will have textures added.

I have to say that it's writen in Qbasic language, and is rather small and limited. It's mainy designed for eye candy than for indepth explantion of extrasolar planets. I was inspired by Ian Millar's star generator, but this one has some differences, mainly it creates worlds more randomly. I also have a link for downloading qbasic if you don't have qbasic.
