Short: Random Solar System Generator with HTML output Author: michpiva@shaw.ca (Michael A. Piva) Uploader: michpiva shaw ca (Michael A Piva) Type: misc/sci Version: 1.0b7 Architecture: m68k-amigaos Welcome to the Amiga version of StarGen. I (Michael A. Piva) can take no credit in the writing of this program; I only recompiled it for the Amiga. ********************* StarGen is a a random solar system generator, derived from the work of a great number of people over the past three dozen years. (See Credits.txt for details.) It's called StarGen because there are already enough versions that call themselves starform to be confusing. StarGen's preferred output format its Web pages. This distribution includes the following files: ReadMe.txt The file you are reading Credits.txt The history of the program Manual.html The user's manual C sources The source code for the *.c and *.h program itself Macintosh-specific sources: Specific sources for mac_prefix.h StarGen.r StarGen.prj the Mac version Windows project files: Project files for StarGen.dsp StarGen.dsw Visual C on Windows Makefile Make file for Unix/Mac OS X HTML subdirectory Images etc. referred to by html/*.gif and html/Key.html the generated HTML and if you took the Mac version of the distribution: StarGen PPC Version compiled for PPC StarGen 68K Version for the original Mac The windows executable version contains: StarGen.exe Windows-32 version The Amiga executable version was made by Michael A. Piva and contains: StarGen.000 (Basic version) StarGen.020 (68020 optimized version) StarGen.020fpu (FPU optimized version of StarGen.040) StarGen.040 (68040 optimized version) StarGen.060 (68060 optimized version) AmigaStar example Star System (seed used based on word "AMIGA") To build a Unix or Mac OS X version of StarGen, cd to the directory containing the files listed above and type make You may need to edit the Makefile if you are using a version of Unix or the GNU development tools very different from the Mac OS X and GNU C and make that I used for development and testing. To build the Macintosh-native version you will need a copy of Code Warrior from Metrowerks. The supplied StarGen.prj file was created with version 2.1 of Code Warrior and so should work with any version from the last 5 years. To build on Windows you will nee Visual C or to use the GNU development tools from the command line. To get more detailed documentation, feed the file Manual.html to a Web browser or Help viewer that reads HTML files.
