None of these work for me. Put it on YouTube or something.

Here's a Youtube copy of it: https://youtu.be/5Lu9MSgmTBc

Video URL on the GH page is 404.

this works for me while the readme one didn't.

Also, the "thug boy" song threw me back to Fist of the North Start so hard I got wiplash, excellent choice.

This link just takes forever to load for me

This link also did not work for me.

403 :(

Love FTL, would be sick to port it to terminal graphics

Ahh nice to know! Never managed to test it

I used the pixel planet generator to generate low resolution gifs, which I then combine together to get the galaxy gifs

Thanks:)

Basically users can interact by playing basketball games against each other or by trading players. This sort of interactions are handled with something similar to a TCP handshake, since we must ensure that we end up with a consistent state at the end (e.g. players are traded consistently).

Because of this, it is not easy to have 'real-time' interactions: for example, when challenging each other, players only agree on the initial conditions of the game, which then is simulated independently (and deterministically) on both clients.

Proudly built with Ratatui: https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui :)

The graphics themselves are basically handmade pixel-by-pixel, you can take a look in the assets folders to get an idea.

For example, pirate images are generated by combining the different parts and then applying a color mapping for the different skin tones.

Planet gifs are adapted starting from https://deep-fold.itch.io/pixel-planet-generator

You mean the song in the trailer? It's the japanese OST for Kenshiro: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenshiro

The story is quite simple, I just loved the anime when I was a kid :)

The italian version is also incredible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPIcdhjPG5I

At the beginning of the match, a match ID is created. Randomness is then seeded from this ID and every random event is determined consistently. If you want, a game could be completely simulated just based on the initial ID.

Please not an animated gif. These easily end up weighing more than 10MB, while a similar mp4 can be 500KB. You just need to use an encoding all browsers support.

Thanks a lot, really appreciate it. Have you tried this link: https://streamable.com/huxiwr ?

I know VHS, only problem is that that demo is a bit involved to properly script it..

True, I can see your public key, username, and IP I guess. I only log the username and hash of the public key/password that I use for storing save files (the logs are for debugging, but I swear I don't sell them to google). You can see what I do in the source, of course you have to trust me on that :)

Thanks! I agree, I really need to write a wiki or something. The problem is that this game started as a basketball managerial game and then got completely derailed as I kept implementing whatever I thought was cool at the moment.

I think there are mainly 3 themes to play for:

- Basketball: assemble the best possible team. Basically try to acquire as much money as possible to hire the best free agents;

- Money: just try to get as rich as possible, using the market and in the future your asteroids;

- Space adventure: get the best possible spaceship (more options will be available in future releases) and have fun in the spaceshooter game you can access from your team pane (button 'Space adventure').

I tried to combine and summarize these 3 themes by having a reputation score assigned to your team, which can increase based on all 3 conditions. In the Swarm pane there is a Top Ranking window where the best crews are listed.
