End of an Empire
This was a summer project in 2022. I am a big fan of Star Wars, or at least some of it but let's not get into that. There are some great Star Wars video games, which you can see more about in my recommendations, and I wanted to create some software that would unify the single player matches and modes from these games into one campaign a bit like Galactic Conquest in Star Wars Battlefront II (2005). The idea was that you could create spaceships and invade planets and when you did it would randomly select relevant locations, games and gamemodes for the encounter. I was quite happy with the results of the code that I wrote, I had planned to make a proper user interface rather than keeping it all command line but when I started playing it wasn't that fun. Some of the newer games took a long time to load, different games had more depth and others felt a bit random. I always had the most fun with Star Wars Battlefront II (2005) and found a great mod that allowed you to add user created maps to Galactic Conquest in that game called Choose your own Galactic Conquest. This gave the variety I desired but it would still be nice to have some more variation in gamemodes.
The other problem is that the codebase was becoming quite large and I don't think python was the best language to maintain this.
