edrpg-py is a Python-based project of tools for the Elite: Dangerous RPG. This project is currently in its initial phase, featuring a solar system generator. Future expansions are planned to include character creation tools and other utilities.
- Dynamic Creation: Generate unique solar systems with a variety of stars, planets, asteroid belts, and orbiting stars.
- Customizability: Systems can be configured to be inhabited or uninhabited, influencing the presence of structures like stations, outposts, and settlements.
- Detailed Attributes: Each celestial object is generated with specific attributes like type, size, habitable zones, and more.
- Inhabitation Logic: Implements probabilities for planets to be inhabited based on their type and the system's overall habitability.
- Economy and Society Simulation: Systems are assigned specific economies and societal structures, enhancing the depth of the role-playing environment.
- Character Creation Tools: Utilities to assist players in creating and managing characters in the game.
- Additional Generators: Tools for creating other aspects of the game world, such as unique NPCs and missions.
- Virtual Tabletop: Eventually, a web-based interface for these tools, as well as broader campaign management.
To use the solar system generator:
- Installation: Clone the repository and ensure Python is installed on your system.
- Running the Generator:
- Navigate to the project directory.
- Run the script using Python:
python system.py. - The script will generate a solar system and output a detailed summary.
