This is a commandline star system generator that draws heavily on the Worldbuilding Guide found on the Atomic Rockets website at projectrho.com. It generates semi-realistic star systems and includes calculations for mass, luminosity, radius, distance, roche/hill limits, temperature and more!
The only dependency this tool has is the PyCairo library. To get started, just clone the repository and run:
$ rhogen.py -h
Goals for the future include:
- Ability to modify the JSON and re-import it for MarkDown and image generation.
- Generate satellites around planets.
- Generate rings around planets.
The tool has three output formats; you can output the generated system in either or all of them with the -oJ
, -oM
and -oI
options.
