Ships +can travel along these connections to take over enemy planets. + +Planets produce ships at a steady rate; they can be conquered by flying more +ships there than are currently on the planet. A slight wrinkle is that planets +can have 'shields', each of which must be defeated by a ship first. + +Planets can also be upgraded to produce ships faster (economic) or be better +defended (defensive). + +## The code + +I'm currently working on `2d.rkt`, which contains an as-yet-unfinished +implementation of the game mechanics in two dimensions. + +I played around with racket's `pict3d` library in `3d.rkt`, but put that on hold +in favour of getting the game mechanics right in the 2D version first. |
