A downloadable simulation for Windows and macOS

Hey everyone! As a coding project, I made a single player version of Constellation by Synthesis

I made it mainly to learn about the game development and shipping process, but also to demo some features that I wanted to implement in the real Constellation simulation, i.e. bots you can play against and a more efficient map generation UI.  

Feel free to download the game and play around! The source code is available here:

Map Creation Instructions:

After entering the Map Generator, click on "Create New Map". 

  • Click to place stars - the one shaded blue is the selected star. 
  • Hold shift and click on an existing star to make a connection. This will connect the currently selected star and the star you clicked on. 
  • Hold shift and drag to create a highlighted connection area. All stars within this connection area will be connected to the currently selected star. 
  • Right click on a star to delete it and all surrounding connections. 

Once your map is done, click "SAVE" to give it a name and save it. 

In the "Choose a Map" area, you can also edit existing maps as well as delete and copy them. Just select an existing map and press the respective button.
