It's understandable. In Dutch the correct verb would also be "publiceren" where english translates it as "releasing".
But translating this in many other languages would be something like "releasing a prisoner".

So lately I have been playing Minecraft lately and started thinking about how you can generate new worlds by entering a new seed, then suddenly I thought what if we did the same thing with Space Engine? Like if you left it as default (a blank seed) it would just generate planets, stars and galaxies etc just as it does right now however if we put in a new seed it would generate a brand new universe with an entirely different universe map which of course would not have earth anywhere... just a brand new universe to explore. Anyways just an idea I thought of and wondered what people might think. ^^;

Wouldn't simply going to a random galaxy pretty much do the same thing? You would be lucky finding the Milky Way again.

Well not really since star and galaxy generation is based on current maps we have of the known universe... this is an idea that would generate a completely new random map of an entirely new universe based on what seed you put in while the default blank seed would be based on this universe.

You should look up a game coming called Limit Theory, it will have that function. As far as I know Space Engine won't have this function.

Not sure why you need it considering that the single universe we have now generates far more galaxies and solar systems than you can explore in a lifetime

Besides, the reason why everyone has the same source code is because everybody would be in the same universe, which is more fun to share locations, explorer challenges etc.

Well, I kinda solved the memory problems with SE, my video card needed to be updated (AMD Radeon HD 6530D 8.982.0.0 with 2 GB of VRAM). Anyways, looking forward to 0.97 which hopefully will completely solve the "out of memory" troubles lol.

EDIT: Planning on upping my physical RAM from 4 GB to 12 GB sometime in the near future.

This card actually doesn't have any dedicated VRAM, it feeds off of the system RAM to use as VRAM, and SE apparently has troubles with that.

Oh. x.x I didn't know that. Then again, it's an AMD Radeon HD 6530D 512 MB. At least SE runs smoothly for me since I just recently updated my graphics card.

PS: Now that I think of it, since this card doesn't have any dedicated VRAM, this means that when I get more RAM, the performance of SE will increase (Hopefully).

I have a request. Could you add a small amount of noise or dithering to the rendered frames to mitigate color banding. It's only noticeable in atmospheres. If you can't that's fine, and I appreciate all the work you've done here.

^I think I remember someone in a thread a while back asking about colour banding in atmospheres too; but it turned out that's not actully's SE's fault, but monitor producers being fraudulent gits. If I remember correctly, many monitors sold as being able to display 24 bits colours can actually only do 16 bits.




I occasionally stream at http://www.twitch.tv/magistermystax. Sometimes SE, sometimes other games.
