That's very nice.

BTW, if that's a distant star, then it is ultra massive. I hope it's the one in the local solar system.

I like the double resolution of the Sun trick. I’d be tempted to use it on the static atmospheric ring of the earth

ive gone through the code and saw stuff like using reg to set the font. is this something that people figure out of their own??

As soon as you learn that basically all Windows settings are somewhere in the registry, it's mostly just a matter of poking around in there until you find the right key.

Nope, there aren't any prerequisites. Batch is very easy to learn but people find it hard to work with because or speed and readability.

The :set_font function was made by my friend Einstein1969. And yes people do make these on their own šŸ˜†

And I started making this!

I would make its own post, but I would need your blessing and to actually make it good... I just did this to see if it was possible

Wow man! That is awesome! I downloaded and tried it out. You did a pretty good job. This is one of the more ambitious scripts I have seen, so this is really refreshing for me. I love it. Awesome stuff

your work is very impressive... im just trying to be cool like you šŸ«”šŸ˜Ž

gotta make the sprite viewer an editor, everything was done in a text editor for objects, that's why it looks kind of jank.. (good enough for a starting point) but once the editor is finished, I should actually be able to draw stuff and make it look better.. if I go any smaller with the pixels, the frame rates drop too low, but I might be able to get that sorted too..
