The Software is still deep in it's infacy, there are many features I have planned but have not yet implemented.
Above is an example of its output. It has generated a bianary star system. (although it usually does one star systems)
There isn't much interactivity, currently you can press space bar to scroll the cyan "cursor" between planets in
order to view some of their basic attributes. You can also press S to toggle star attributes. You'll need to relaunch
the script in order to generate a new system. Names are randomly generated as well, there's a small chance real
words will show up, don't blame me if you find a planet named "Butt" etc. The system's star(s) are displayed on the
left while the planets are displayed on the right at a larger scale. Both are dynamically scaled to fit on the screen.
(note the scale legends) Also occasionally you'll find a system with no planets, to put it simply the star(s) were
so hot that they blew away all their planetary forming material, not exactly intentional but that does imitate reality.
Usage:
You'll need to download the text file (or copy/paste it) into a code editor that handles python.
If you're not sure what to use I would suggest using IDLE, which comes with Python.
Run the script and you'll be prompted to input an integer, this determines what system you'll get.
You can also enter 0 for a random system, just make sure you put in an integer between 0 and 2^32.

And as I stated before, this is my first coding project; if you're an actual coder expect to have nightmares over this chaos.
