Early this morning, I finished the rendering of the map. Now I am done with the movement and I have also improved the look of the stars. (As well as added more colors.) Now, you can look around the map by clicking either 4 directions. It moves you 256 units in the direction you chose. The colors are random at the moment because I don’t have any means on determining star color.
You automatically are placed at your current system. In this case, everyone is automatically placed looking at the system “Sol.” It does seem pretty lonely out there!
Things still to come:
- Zooming in and out.
- A mini-map to determine where you are.
- Details about the star on hover.
- Permanent star colors.
Keep in touch!

Hello,
I told everyone that I would have a full sized map with jump gate lines, unfortunately, my algorithm is not yet ready to iterate through 186,000 jump gates. Therefore, I am going to give you the largest image I could create.
Don’t worry, it still looks sorta cool.
