This is looking brilliant, and done in BlitzMax too! It's a great language.

I just played the new version, and it's certainly a lot more fun and balanced and satisfying than it used to be. I'm not sure what you did.

But I still haven't figured out what corruption has to do with it.

Warning! It's very addictive



We need to fix something yet, but any feedback on music is wellcome too.

The game runs in Linux... kind of... 


Just posted: version 0.7.9.9!
With mostly incremental stuff. All links have been updated, or grab it in this post:
-Should fix some problems with the soundtrack by using a new compression algorithm, better mixing
-Also the shuffle function now won't ever repeat a track until all tracks have played at least once.
-Fixes runaway generation of the starfield and grid backgrounds when changing seeds, no more washed out colors
-The background choices of the user are now retained more reliably
-Some minor gameplay balancing stuff (difficulty curve made more gradual for post 750k scores)

where could we learn more about this procedural generation of ships - from the "how to do it" angle?
it gives me an idea on what I could aim to do, which doesn't concern spaceships or anything that looks similiar actually, but hmmm... you inspired me.

any chance you could point me in the right direction?

I think this is a good starting point.

The methodology is solid, all you need to do is change the template to follow and you can generate some pretty neat stuff.
