Thousand Parsec: Helping

Last updated: 12 July 2004

How to Help for the Unmotivated

Here are some cool stuff that would add a little spice to the game and requires only a little effort. Everyone who has been meaning to do stuff and never got around to is should try out one of these.

Any code which works and is in python would kick ass :)

So take your pick and get coding/drawing/composing right NOW! We are expecting your contribution :)

Random Generators

All these results should be "seeded" generators so that we can get the same results by putting in the same number(s).

Text Generators:

• Planet Name Generator
• Planet Description Generator
• Fleet Name Generator
• 'Lost' Civilisations description Generator
• Space Pirate names Generator
• Space Phenomena Generator
• Random Insult Generator
• Random Weapon name Generator
• Random Weapon result Generator

Graphics Generators:

• Planet Graphic Generator
• Sun Graphic Generator

Could write the above in anything - Gimp scripts come to mind. See http://www.pandromeda.com/page/products/generator.html for a super cool program which does this.

Media

As well the following graphics are needed,

• Thousand Parsec Logo
• "Touch Up" website background (it's VERY slow on modem...)
• Fix up the windows HOWTO graphics
• General ship, planet, star, sun, moon, spacey object generators

As well the website is always in need of improvement. Write us a RSS feed system or something.

Other

Other misc stuff:

• Get jasmine logs linked to from the site, get jasmine to email bookmarks to the list
• Think up cool ideas of things
• Help build up a community by inviting friends and hanging out on IRC
