On this page you will find all the programming projects I have written over the years.
OOLiteInfo
While working on Mostly Deadly, I found I had the need for a utility that allowed me to look up details on planets while looking at the galactic map.
Firing up OOlite just to look at planets was a bit of a drag and checking out planet details, on different galaxies was not easy to do and interrupted my writing flow too much, so OOliteInfo was born.
OOLiteInfo v0.2
Now re-written in Python and should be fully cross platform. Please report any bugs you may find:
Windows users will have to download Python 2.7, wxPython and NumPy.

You will also need to have Python, wxPython and NumPy installed. The following Links are what I used to develop, but you may have to download the 32 bit versions for your OS.
Python 2.7.2 64Bit – Windows 64 Bit
wxPython 1.6.1 – Windows 64 Bit
NumPy (Follow this link and download – numpy-MKL-1.6.1.win-amd64-py2.7.exe
32Bit Windows Links to follow.
Linux Instructions to follow
