Really old dead project: Elite
Posted: Fri 09 May, 2008 5:47 am
This might belong in general ti discussion - I'm not sure, but...
I found this whilst digging through my old code. When I first started calc coding, I decided to try and do an Elite clone, which is eventually what lead me trying to do 3D.
I actually managed to get it to assemble (after much poking and prodding), so I thought I'd upload it. The source is too embarrassing to release Let's just say I would do things very differently now.
All it is is just a galaxy map with planet info. Use the cursors to move the cross hairs. ENTER will snap to the nearest planet or bring up the data sheet if already on a planet. ENTER will also return to the map. CLEAR exits from program (only from the map screen, though).
