Celestial Front

Watch as stars battle for control of a simple simulated galaxy. Each star belongs to a faction, indicated by its color, and combat happens automatically between neighboring stars. Your role is to observe the dynamic battlefield as stars change ownership.

Gameplay

Stars: Stars are connected by lanes. Stars of different colors represent different factions. Over time, stars may change color as they are conquered by neighboring stars.

Combat: Stars automatically engage in combat with nearby stars. The outcome is random (unless in momentum mode, then the larger faction has an advantage), and the color of a star changes if it is conquered by another faction.

Controls

F: Speed up combat.

S: Slow down combat (default).

P: Pause combat.

Number keys (1-9): Reset the game and change the number of star connections.

M, D, and C:  Switch between Default mode, Momentum, which gives larger factions an advantage, and Cut Off mode where stars cut off from their color's parent star are given to the faction that cut them off.
