Version 0.7, updated November 26, 1998
Changes since v 0.6:
Added a loop so it creates 100 star systems at a time
Also included is an index page which lists the systems and their vital statistics
On the index page is links to the individual system's page(s)
Removed the default system name of "system". You now MUST provide a name or will
exit
eg. If system name is "Alpha", it creates the index page "Alpha.html",
and the systems are then "Alpha0.html", "Alpha1.html"....
"Alpha99.html"
Fixed a bug in the Star generation when star was a giant.
Changes since v 0.5:
Minor bug fixes
Corrected an error in gravity, now compensated for distance
from core to surface
Gas Giant atmosphere stats now at "habitable" zone, not surface
Killed all life for planets below -100 C or above 100 C
Adjusted climate for summer & winter, removed CLIMATERANGE
Changes since v 0.4:
Climate now set via distance from star, not randomly
Added Stellar Luminosity to data tables
Corrected orbital period calculations for moons
Water affected by climate
Corrected a bug which gave Gas Giants planetary surfaces
Re-wrote all code for lunar calculations
humidity now set from water, not randomly
Gravity calculations were WAY off! Corrected for volume of planet.
Moon sizes of 25% planet diameter are "very rare" (adjust accordingly)
Make # of lunar orbits based on planet's G & set accordingly (B+Au)
Pressure=0 if G is less than 0.2
Converted all "dice rolls" to percentages
Changes since v 0.3:
Surface water derived from G's plus a random influence
Surface water begins evaporation with temp over 80 degrees
Humidity increases at twice the evaporation rate
Humidity decreases below 0 degrees, and reaches 0% at -100 degrees
Increase atmospheric humidity under pressure
Increase atmospheric pressure under gravity
Decrease atmospheric humidity under gravity
Decrease temperature in thin atmospheres, increase in dense
Added new variable CLIMATERANGE to show variations in temp
Axial tilt affects climate range
Year length affects climate range
Day length affects climate range
AtmosPressure affects climate range
Adjusted Gas giant upper size limit to 390k km
Changed colour for planets with atmosphere (no moonpages)
Changes since v 0.2:
added name parsing to beginning of program to accept system name
will use a default name if no name provided
added config item MOONPAGES="YES"/"NO"
added new column "Moons" with link to new pages
remaking the main table so a planets moons are on a seperate page
scheduled changes
Outer planets are too cold, make them warmer, w/o affecting inner planets
Mooneffect increases water (due to vulcanism)
Mooneffect decreases & stabalizes axial tilt if day is < 2 weeks
Increasing chance of life when
reduced climaterange
Day must be less than 168 hours for life to exist
0.6 - Change Terrain type to base on moon effect + random
0.6 - Add vegetationtype
0.6 - Vegetation if water>0 & temp=0 to 100
0.6 - Add possibility for retrograde and inclined orbits
1.0 - Re-make HTML table to invisible, and add graphics
