Seeking interest and support in a game designed for Rpi

Bug hunting has been much reduced, things are a lot more stable, and Im currently working on some of the flight characteristics of the ships you can pilot..Adding some HUD elements at the moment, they don't do anything yet, but getting them to display is a good feeling.

Targetting enemies with rotating turrets is a major pain in the behind, its been quite a lot of work, and I still have a few minor issues to resolve, such as the slight off centering of the gun barrels, but finally I can comfortably set a ship up to have multiple turret types firing multiple types of ordinance and shooting at a specific enemy, albeit at a centre point... small enhancments to come but its a big step toward getting ship battles to be automated.

turning my eye to the almost infinite list of todo's to do

One of which is the selection and visualisation of solar systems to choose a home world for my Empire.... this sounded simple...it really did, and when I say it to myself it still sounds simple.

But what a rabbit hole this is, not just the techncial side of trying to map an area of space, where I want to convey size, but the actual selection and explination of content within that systems

I hoped to get this done in a weekend 2 weeks later I'm still tinkering, but tinkering can be fun when you don't have deadlines.
