LÖVE

this is an awsome game ive been working on for a couple of days now:

download:http://geggames.com/unknownSpace.love

features:
-button system
-random map generation
-anti over lap system (so the planets donst over lap each other)
-camera (move with arrow keys)
-zoom in and out with z/x (may cause problems if used)
-press lshift and it will show the of all the stars in your area

todo:
-make so you can explore a little bit of some planets (not suns and gas planets)
-sounds and music
-options/settings
-add black holes that absorb stars and planets (you will be able to disable this feature)
-inventory system

in progress:
-player system (gonna have 1-3 player support)
-entities (like talking satellites and aliens trapped in a space ship)
-more planets and stars

and much more

and now do you ask why show us a 14% finished game?
a: because i want more ideas and feedback !

goal: create a home version of space and universe(less realistic and effects) and awsome space battles

hey, good start. I guess you have to work on that prototype a bit more.
I found a couple of problems:

- If changing into options menu, you can't get back (same for ingame) - a simple "escape" key action would be great.
- The button collision isn't accurate, make sure you check collsion with the whole size of the box ( box.x -> box.w, box.y -> box.h )
+ also the buttons are very big. That does not look that good I think.
- Your map generation code seems to be pretty unefficient, much lag while scrolling.

I suggest you to work a bit more on that and post something if it looks as clean as possible

thanks, but one thing i like pushing big buttons

In the version that you literally just posted I can't zoom in or out. It gives me an error with Delta Time. And otherwise- Awesome game so far!
