This is the first thing I've coded without unity so it is incredibly basic.
NOTE: This procedural generation uses a specific seed and is not random every time [still thousands of star systems}. On the X and Y plane 65535x65535 in total 131K total systems.
Another note: This game will not work without Visual studio redistributes installed because it was written in C++.
