I am still looking for Betatesters -especially for the Multiplayermode.
Bugreports, ideas or comments are kindly appreciated.

I would be very glad for corrections of my cruel english.
If anyone wants to translate the game (language-file) and the manual in his language - please contact me.

The game graphics still arent bound into the Gamefile, so if there is an graphics artist out there who thinks : "Hmm ... I can do better than that stuff !" - please feel free to send me your artworks.

Have fun conquering the galaxy with STARWORLD !

Cheers : Hartmut

Cool! I love this type of game. Will certainly play it when I'm able and give you back some feedback!

Wow, I love the interface!!! Impressive work!
The controls and and the screen changes are very fast.

Sugestion: make it easier to load a saved single player game in the title screen. The only way I found to load a game was to start a new one and then, in the middle of it, load my game.

Question: did you use Purebasic's default interface controls? The ones you use look like they're GTK. Would you mind sharing how you did it so well?

Keep up the good work. Very interesting game and the many different options are a big plus.

Sorry, thats not planned at the moment - the reason is the multiplayermode !
I have to have a Multiplayergame created and the communication running between the computers, before i can load a saved game.

I use only PB-Standard and of course Gnozals great Purecolor.lib - nothing else, because I want the code to be as easy as possible to be transfered into a MacOS or LINUX-Version of this game.

I see. Maybe put an additional LOAD button after the user has selected Single Player Mode (the first single player mode screen)? I haven't tested the multiplayer part but the game seems pretty solid AFAICT.
