Star Apocalypse is the reinvention of the 4X genre. The game is a real time game of intergalactic civilization, using the computation power of modern computers to run advanced simulations on cultural, technological and societal interaction and development.
This is a little experiment which I've done in XNA, with hardly any prior knowledge of XNA.
what this does is that it generates stars when you press enter (or keep enter pressed), and removes all stars if you press escape.
