Screenshots

Here are some screenshots of the current development vresion of my FreeStars Client. Note that these is still very much work in progress, with a lot more work to do.

• loadmap.png: The first progress point loading the (a) map. A couple of things. First the stars are WAY to big. Each pixel is 1 light year. So two close stars would overlap.
• ----
• loadmapzoomin: Slightly improved map view. Now we can zoom in and out on the map. In this case I have zoomed in to the maximum. Now the scale is correct, and the stars look fairly good in my opinion. I hope to add glittering to the stars in future versions.
• loadmapzoomout: Same version as above, but zoomed all the way out. It is hard to see in the image, but the stars have been replaced with small solid squares to improve clarity as they shrink.
• ----
• Basic Habatability View: Now I've added a lot behind the scenes. The two shown windows are popup views of the Planet Thyme's environmental views. The windows can be resized, and destroyed happily.
• Window management: It has been a while since an update... Shown is message display, for a number of messages. The 3 tabs on the right are for private messages to you, messages from other players, and a message from the host about the game. Currently the text displayed in the 3 message windows is unformated, but this will be fixed. Additionally windows can now have focus, and can be raised and manipulated like normal windows. There are some other features with alpha blending, but it is hard to see in the screenshot.
