# Install deps first
npm i
# Run with live reload
npm run dev
# Run test suite
npm test
# Build prod assets
npm run deploy- Star system generator creates too many planets per system.
- No atmosphere = Desert World (Atmosphere table doesn't have a "no atmo" option, only "special"?).
- Planetary names (what does LV/MT/RF stand for?).
- No given chance for "surveyed", non-colonised moons and planets (p331).
- Gas giant planet size should be huge? The moons have -4, but the gas giant iself should be large?
- Military missions - base reward applies?
- Extra rewards - "Monetary amount" not explained. I assumed it was adding the base reward amount again.
- Run through star system generator materials, checking with data and code for correctness (testing)
- Add an "About" page with details on the app and the author, with some links - again easier to discover for Users.
- Add roadmap as a page in the app itself, so users can easily check and see what's planned / done etc (would be a "page")
- Write unit tests for the Star Systems generator module (more important than the utils module, as bugs are less visible)
- Add routing for multiple page support (https://routify.dev/, or maybe just page.js, but I want code splitting too!)
- Maintain a log of calculations, to display to UI later
- Full unit-test coverage for all modules
- Cypress test suite for UAT
- CI/CD pipeline to automate deployments? Travis? Netlify? Github actions? (for now it's npm run deploy from local)
- Refactor links again, use own "handleNav" function instead of Page.js's inbuilt click handling.
- Refactor App into "pages", add Page.js for routing.
- Add military mission job generator
- Add expedition job generator
- Add plot twists
- Add Encounter generators (star system encounter, ship reaction, on-planet, colony)
- Advertised on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/alienrpg/comments/iqiwlc/unofficial_alien_rpg_tools_web_app/)
- Fix planetary names logic, see p331. Add "surveyed" chance, 3 digit designation.
- Change version to (sed replaced) timestamp, move to footer
- npm deploy bumps the version date
- Uninhabited moons: If planet is unexplored/uninhabited, roll D3–1 for moons. (Refactor orbitals to be habitation/colony independent, give them an optional owner, update printing logic)
- Asteroid belts aren't surveyable (so they'll never get a name, etc)
- A gas giant has D6+4 significant moons which can be created just like Terrestrial Planets (define new type, hang off gas giant, refactor habitation code, printing code, etc)
- Refactor the "options" UI into its own (nested) component
- Enhance options with a hide/show UI
- Refactor options & results to handle multiple generators (star systems, jobs, encounters)
- Add Cargo Run Job generator (as another module+button)
- Refactor buttons UI to be more compact (tabs?)
- sessionStorage to remember options & results (safer than localStorage, which can break the app on code updates if you're not careful)
- Allow user to set/override the location of the system in advance (e.g. Frontier, UPP, etc) (also update for cli.js)
- Colony factions
- Colony allegiance
- Fix ice planet data (d66 -> 2d6, oops)
- Scenario hook per inhabited planet
- Add app data in prep for web interface
- Full text-output star system generation, with details for the main world (i.e. the MVP)
- Html interface with... Svelte?
- CSS via https://newcss.net/theme/terminal/
- Host on https://scott.maclure.info/alienrpg
- Add "show uninhabited details" checkbox
- Setup Unit test framework for JS modules via https://github.com/avajs/ava
- Bug - certain runs are hanging - infloop? Debug.
- Contract Fria Ligan for permission to use content for the generator
- 10+ on 2D6 = two competing colonies on the same world.
- Ice planets - force temp to frozen (p340)
- Add temperature min/max fields, generate average per planet
- Sort planetary bodies by average temperature (p340)
- Generate uninhabited planetary details for the rest of the system objects
