Welcome to the Amiga version of StarGen. I (Michael A. Piva) can take
no credit in the writing of this program; I only recompiled it for the
Amiga.
*********************
StarGen is a a random solar system generator, derived from the work of a
great number of people over the past three dozen years. (See Credits.txt
for details.) It's called StarGen because there are already enough
versions that call themselves starform to be confusing. StarGen's
preferred output format its Web pages.
This distribution includes the following files:
ReadMe.txt The file you are reading
Credits.txt The history of the program
Manual.html The user's manual
C sources The source code for the
*.c and *.h program itself
Macintosh-specific sources: Specific sources for
mac_prefix.h StarGen.r StarGen.prj the Mac version
Windows project files: Project files for
StarGen.dsp StarGen.dsw Visual C on Windows
Makefile Make file for Unix/Mac OS X
HTML subdirectory Images etc. referred to by
html/*.gif and html/Key.html the generated HTML
and if you took the Mac version of the distribution:
StarGen PPC Version compiled for PPC
StarGen 68K Version for the original Mac
The windows executable version contains:
StarGen.exe Windows-32 version
The Amiga executable version was made by Michael A. Piva and contains:
StarGen.000 (Basic version)
StarGen.020 (68020 optimized version)
StarGen.020fpu (FPU optimized version of StarGen.040)
StarGen.040 (68040 optimized version)
StarGen.060 (68060 optimized version)
AmigaStar example Star System (seed used based on word "AMIGA")
To build a Unix or Mac OS X version of StarGen, cd to the directory
containing the files listed above and type
make
You may need to edit the Makefile if you are using a version of Unix or
the GNU development tools very different from the Mac OS X and GNU C and
make that I used for development and testing.
To build the Macintosh-native version you will need a copy of Code
Warrior from Metrowerks. The supplied StarGen.prj file was created with
version 2.1 of Code Warrior and so should work with any version from the
last 5 years.
To build on Windows you will nee Visual C or to use the GNU development
tools from the command line.
To get more detailed documentation, feed the file Manual.html to a Web
browser or Help viewer that reads HTML files.
