README: recommend iTerm2 on macOS too

2026-11-11T23:34:04Z

Current iTerm2 shows 24-bit colour and reports held keys, so list it beside Ghostty and kitty, with the version it needs and the setting to turn on if the title screen says held keys aren't detectable. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5

Orrery 0.1.0: the galaxy, flight, cities, inventory and saves

2026-11-11T23:24:37Z

Grows the derelict crawler into the whole game, and gets it ready to publish. - A galaxy of star systems joined by lanes, split between four peoples' territories, with a star map and a system map. Systems are modelled with Kepler orbits, moons inside their Hill spheres, belts past the frost line and stations at Lagrange points. - Flight around one place at a time: arcade flight with a throttle fallback where held keys can't be detected, mining rocks for ore, landing, docking at stations, and boarding wrecks that come and go by the calendar. - Your ship to walk about, and capital cities to land at: generated plans with walls, quarters and streets, building interiors, shops, taverns, scholars and armourers. - Fighting with a weapon and a gun ready, six damage types and how each monster takes them, and armour that guards, wears and can be mended. - Everything you own has a weight: a vim-keyed inventory, a pack and the ship's lockers, and trade in ore, salvage, arms and fuel. - Characters with a people and a ship of their own, saved as versioned JSON on every scene change and on quit, with a character sheet, a saves list and a pause menu wherever you are. - `orrery weapons`, `armour`, `galaxy`, `system` and `town` print the generators' output without the TUI. - Release: README install steps for macOS and Linux, a Makefile whose install also works with macOS's install, an MIT licence, and Cargo metadata with rust-version 1.88.

Orrery: game loop, name generator and derelict dungeons

2026-11-10T14:50:08Z

An ASCII sci-fi-fantasy game for the terminal, built on ratatui. - Game loop with a fixed 30 Hz tick and a stack of scenes; the kitty keyboard protocol is turned on where the terminal supports it, so later real-time scenes can tell when a key is held. - Stable hierarchical seeds: the whole universe derives from one u64, with tests pinning the exact outputs so old seeds keep working. - Name generator with four cultures, each with its own syllables and templates, plus unidentified/true names for artifacts. - Title screen with an animated orrery, and a name forge for browsing generated names. - Derelict ships to board: ship-shaped maps with an engine room, spine corridor, side rooms and bridge; symmetric shadowcasting sight; monsters that wake on sight and hunt; loot carried out through the airlock goes into the hold. - `orrery names` and `orrery ship` print the generators' output without the TUI, for tuning.
