Hi
I know this is a little late( by a few years) but I would like to create new maps on a Linux machine! I do not want to do it using wine or dosbox, but native code. I have looked in the archives and can not find any details/code of the overall generation.
I looked at the results, in the saved game file. ( looking at stars and planets array).
It looks like it uses a stripe generation, Randomly create stars along a stripe then filling in any big open spaces.
From reading I think that there are tables that hint at the planet type for each star ( Where?)
Any code, algorithms, tables or ideas would help!!

Mapgen info wanted!
Check the topic below: Galaxy map tables for Planet climate + size and Star class?From reading I think that there are tables that hint at the planet type for each star ( Where?)
And few topics on page 3 of this forum:
Planet Gravity table
Planet Mineral Class vs the Star Stellar Class Table
Star Class vs Number of Satellites table
Orbit vs Satellite Types Table
Map increase slowly, heh? For playing purposes it's not a good idea imo. Some players may like it though.what ideas would people have about a progressively growing universe?
