Universe Observatory in Python 3 🌌
Lets you model and explore the entire universe. Based on Orteil's Nested.
I want to rewrite this in a compiled language soon to make it easier to release binaries. Stay tuned.
If you download universe-release-bundled.zip, extract the zip folder then run startUniverse.bat.
If you want to run the source version, make sure you have Colorama installed with pip install colorama.
Then, extract universe-release-source.zip, and run python system.py in that directory with Python 3 installed.
Run system.py with the -s or --seed option.
Example: python system.py -s SeedyMcSeedFace
Each seed generates the exact same, including nations' and individuals' names.
The composition of everything is defined in things.py in the data folder.
The format for objects is as follows:
"thing-type": ["Thing Alias/Name", Child, Child, Child]
Children are formatted like this:
("child-type", [possible instances], [chance of each instance occuring])
Here's an example thing, a medieval-house:
"medieval-house": ["house", ("desk",1,0.7), ("dinner table",1,1),("medieval-farmer", 7, 0.7)]
In this case, a desk will appear in the house 70% of the time, on average there will be 5 famers in the house, and a dinner table will always appear no matter what.
For its children to be viewable, you would have to define them too. For example, the dinner table:
"dinner table": [("plate",7,0.7),("chair",7,0.7)]
