Announcing Valentium VGA Planets Replayer

I'm working on a replayer for VGA Planets Nu games. This is some tooling that builds a web page that can be used to replay a planets game.

Features

  • Interactive starmap rendered on canvas (ships, planets, nebulae, battle events)

  • Turn-by-turn playback with play/pause/step controls

  • Contextual tooltips showing ship stats, planet owners, battle outcomes

  • Keyboard shortcuts for zoom, pan, next/previous turn

Example Games

Development

It’s not quite ready for public use yet, but the code and roadmap are on GitHub:

Contributions, feedback, and issue reports are very welcome!

Future Plans

  • Planet resource summary data

  • Minefields

  • Per player and global economic statistics

  • A spiral of animated death notes from explostions

  • Show cargo flows on the map with animated ribbons
