Description

Trade, fight, adventure! GalGen Trader 2 is a zequel to an abandoned project of mine. You fly around in your little yellow spaceship, fighting off pirates and shuttling goods from areas of low to high demand. Or, you can colonize planets and start your own empire. Or, you can be a miner, or a pirate yourself. The game is far from finished, and as of yet all you can do is trade goods to and from high and low Tlevels. I suppose it's playable, but just barely, and it's far from fun just quite yet. Select stars using the mouse and press enter to fly to them. Everything else is currently text-based, and should be self-explanatory.

Changes

A milestone release. Rewrote/refactored most of the game's code. From an external standpoint, this release represents a step back in the game's development, since some features were not replaced, but this refactoring of the game's code into a more readable and modifiable state will enable the addition of more content and features in the future.

You just run GGT2.py in your Python 3.2.2 interpreter. Dunno what else to tell you, it works on my system.

Nathanael: Yes, but that shouldn't have anything to do with it. Try redownloading the zip, or getting the SVN. Carsten: Odd; it should work as downloaded. What error did you get before you recoded the function? Also, unfortunately, there's not much to do once you get to the starmap. You can buy and sell goods in the SVN version by clicking on a star and typing in the name of one of the star's planets, but that's about it. Eventually I plan to have stuff happen when you're flying in-between stars, and a way to beam down to planets.

spaces got lost. simply repalce the - at start by space: def load_ship_types(): - for lin in open("shiptypes.dat"): -- theshiptype=ShipType() -- name, maxhp, combat_thrust, engine_speed, sprite = lin.strip().split(',') -- theshiptype.name=name -- theshiptype.maxhp=int(theshiptype.maxhp) -- theshiptype.combat_thrust=float(theshiptype.combat_thrust) -- theshiptype.engine_speed=int(theshiptype.engine_speed) -- theshiptype.sprite=pygame.sprite.Sprite() -- theshiptype.sprite.surface=thegalaxy.sprites[sprite] -- thegalaxy.ship_types[theshiptype.name]=theshiptype

I partly rewritten your load_ship_types to get it running. I made it until the starmap but what i am suposed to do then? def load_ship_types(): for lin in open("shiptypes.dat"): theshiptype=ShipType() name, maxhp, combat_thrust, engine_speed, sprite = lin.strip().split(',') theshiptype.name=name theshiptype.maxhp=int(theshiptype.maxhp) theshiptype.combat_thrust=float(theshiptype.combat_thrust) theshiptype.engine_speed=int(theshiptype.engine_speed) theshiptype.sprite=pygame.sprite.Sprite() theshiptype.sprite.surface=thegalaxy.sprites[sprite] thegalaxy.ship_types[theshiptype.name]=theshiptype

Hello! This looks cool, but I can't unzip the file - it says that the archive is corrupt. Was this zipped on a 64 bit system, by any chance? I'm running 32 bit Windows XP.
