So I have been programming lately. Nothing spectacular. Just giving the old DARKBASIC PRO a try again. Made some character, npc, and monster generators, plus working on a few mapping programs.
Though few months back I had forgotten that I had written up a Celestial Events program.
It assumes that at year zero there was some crazy alignment of all the planets in the system, the two suns and both moons of carcosa. From there it calculates when moons are new/full, when planets are aligned and when the secondary sun in my campaigns is either eclipsing or being eclipsed by the primary sun.
(Decided each month represents an eclipse phase of the suns.)
I set it to do a print up of the year 1138... Ya I know, but it was the first big number that came to mind.
As was commented on my earlier Calendar post, it's true. Most players won't care about such things. Though I do have a couple who love this stuff.
This gives me a chance to prepare weird events triggered by celestial alignments.
