About
Star Trek is a 1971 text-based strategy game based on the original Star Trek TV series, in which the player commands the USS Enterprise across 64 galactic quadrants, destroying invading Klingon warships with phasers and torpedoes before a random time limit runs out. Star Trek 1971 for Python is a Python port of a C# rewrite of the classic 1971 BASIC Star Trek game, made after the author found the C# version online but no equivalent Python port. The author describes it as by no means a definitive version.
History
The project originated from a Reddit post pointing to a C# rewrite of the original 1971 BASIC game, which the author then ported to Python after finding no existing Python version.

- The author lists several possible improvements not yet made: encapsulating global state in classes, adding help/instructions, new ships and weapon types, and a more Pythonic, cartesian navigation system.
