Starseeker

* NOTE! * This should be considered a prototype! It's not 100% finished - I ran out of time for this month! I may come back and finish it up later...  or fix some bugs 

Known bugs:  

• The graphic for mines and asteroids is swapped in the grid - so when it looks like a mine is revealed, it's really an asteroid, and vice-versa
• the buttons in "communications" do not work. they were supposed to restart the level, and show the rules/how to play
• the idea was to have more levels of different, increasing difficulty 
• No sounds or music

Enjoy anyway!?

HOW TO PLAY

Mouse for everything

Click buttons in HELM to maneuver the ship.

Right-click  (ignore the default menu) to mark/unmark spaces - this has no game effect, it is just for your reference.

Click the "Fire" button in PHASERS to fire phasers into the tile directly in front of you.  This uses Energy.

Shift-Left Click to target lock on any unrevealed tile - you can then click the "Fire" button in TORPEDOES to fire a torpedo at the space from anywhere.

Asteroids can be safely destroyed by Phasers or Torpedoes.

Mines will explode and cause a chain reaction if hit by ANY Weapons fire, destroying everything, including you.

Enemy Destroyers will retaliate and kill you if hit by Phaser fire or if you collide with them.

You lose if you take too much Hull damage.

You take Hull damage by running into an Asteroid or a Mine (mines will not cause a chain reaction if bumped into but will damage Hull).

You lose if you run out of Torpedoes (because you can't destroy the enemy without them)

PRIORITY: ALPHA-1
 
!! HOSTILE FORCES DETECTED IN SECTOR 7G !!
 
* 2385.02.27.0433: LONG-RANGE SENSORS DETECTED MULTIPLE WARP SIGNATURES ENTERING THE G-838 NEBULA.
* G-838 IS A GAMMA-CLASS NEBULA MADE UP OF 83% NEROZIUM GAS.
* NEROZIUM GAS IS HIGHLY CHARGED MAKING SHIELDS UNUSABLE AND LIMITING SENSOR RANGE
* G-838 IS SEEDED WITH IODATZINE MINES LEFT OVER FROM A PREVIOUS BATTLE
* NEROZIUM GAS IS HIGHLY REACTIVE WITH IODATZINE! DETONATION OF A SINGLE MINE MAY CAUSE CHAIN REACTION!
* G-838 ALSO CONTAINS A HIGH CONCENTRATION OF LARGE ASTEROIDS - THESE MAY BE DESTROYED WITH CLOSE-RANGE PHASERS OR LONG-RANGE TORPEDOES
* OBJECTS IN NEBULA WILL BE MASKED BY NEROZIUM GAS - SHORT RANGE SENSORS WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO DETERMINE RELATIVE ENERGY SIGNATURES:
* ASTEROIDS WILL HAVE A LOW ENERGY SIGNATURE, MINES WILL HAVE A MEDIUM ENERGY SIGNATURE, AND ENEMY SHIPS WILL HAVE A HIGH ENERGY SIGNATURE
 
OBJECTIVES:
 
  1 NAVIGATE INTERIOR OF G-838 NEBULA
  2 AVOID IODATZINE MINES AT ALL COSTS
  3 AVOID OR DESTROY ASTEROIDS WITH CLOSE-RANGE PHASERS OR LONG-RANGE TORPEDOES
  4 DETERMINE LOCATION OF ENEMY DESTROYERS
  5 NEUTRALIZE ENEMY DESTROYERS WITH LONG-RANGE TORPEDOES
 
MISSION PARAMETERS:
 
! COLLIDING WITH ASTEROIDS OR MINES WILL CAUSE HULL DAMAGE - MISSION FAILURE ON SHIP DESTRUCTION!
! PHASERS USE ENERGY - NEROZIUM GAS WILL PREVENT SYSTEMS FROM RECHARGING.
! DETONATING A MINE WITH WEAPONS FIRE WILL CAUSE CHAIN REACTION AND SHIP DESTRUCTION!
! ONLY TORPEDO DAMAGE CAN DESTROY ENEMY DESTROYERS! USE OF PHASERS WILL CAUSE RETALIATION AND SHIP DESTRUCTION!
! COLLISION WITH ENEMY DESTROYERS WILL DESTROY SHIP!
! TORPEDO SUPPLY IS LIMITED! RUNNING OUT OF TORPEDOES WILL RESULT IN MISSION FAILURE!
 
== ELIMINATE ALL HOSTILE SHIPS FROM SECTOR 7G FOR MISSION SUCCESS ==
