Terminal Space is a text-based space trading and exploration game that was inspired by TradeWars 2002 and several other space trading, elite-type games such as Space Trader and Space Rangers.
- Full screen text-based interface
- Single and multi-player modes (with standalone server)
- TradeWars 2002 concepts like sectors, planets, ports, and ships
It currently implements the TradeWars basics of a universe, sectors, and ports, but will next be taken in new directions.
- 0.1 (released) - Basic client/server model with structured text ui and simple TW2002 gameplay
- 0.2 - Play with some generated animation bits
- 0.3 - Who knows...maybe turn-based combat ala JRPGs?
To run it, install Python 3.12 and run:
pip3 install terminal-space
With the game installed, simply run
tspace-client
To run the server standalone (needed for the "Join Game" option), run:
tspace-server
To install it locally, install pdm and run:
make pyenv
To run the client, type:
make run
You can see all the possible commands by running:
