Trek, a Classic Game for DOS

• superstartrek

  7 31 9.3 Java

  The 70s Super Star Trek command line game revived as an HTML 5 app

1) I love the aesthetics and the game play. First time I learned about this was reading a copy of 101 basic computer games during summer break. I didn't have a computer back then but was fascinated by the book, so I pried my parents until they got me one just so that I could program games.

2) I ported the game to a mobile web app/PWA [1] trying to keep the original feeling, but the lack of a usable keyboard meant the UX had to be drastically changed. Also I'm super-proud of the software architecture I picked which is all event-driven and applies the Model-view-presenter-controller pattern [2]

The Debian version is BSD Trek, which was also a SST-like extension of Trek. Sounds like BSD Trek and SST diverged around 1978: http://www.catb.org/~esr/super-star-trek/

That link's from Eric S. Raymond himself, who has a (still maintained!) GitLab repo for SST2K: https://gitlab.com/esr/super-star-trek

That link also mentions Jason Shankel's OpenTrek, which was a GNU GPL-licensed, cross-platform, TNG-flavored port of SST in rudimentary 3D, ca. 1995-1999: https://web.archive.org/web/20070210032231/http://shankel.be... (the source download link on that IA snapshot works)

I was "reverse engineering" the source for a while to make a spec. But I haven't finished. :)
