Flame Stellar Colony Prototype
The flame stellar colony prototype is something that I've been working on. Basically, the AI starts from one star in a 160 star "galaxy" and sends out colony fleets. It starts off in the present day (2012 CE) and continues running. I decided to make a screenshot every simulated millenium to show off what happens.
Key
- Red, White and Blue Crosses+Points: Stars.
- Grey Points: Colony fleets. These fleets colonise other stars over the course of 550 simulated years.
- Yellow Points: Radio messages. These radio messages allow different colonies to communicate their scientific advancements.
2000 CE. Look at the lowest bright star. Then shift your gaze upwards. You will come across 3 stars in a line, 2 red and one white. The white one is the AI's home system. |

3000 CE. If you look closely, you can see a single colony fleet. |
4000 CE. There are now three colony fleets; two close together and a third one, forming an equilateral triangle. No extraterrestrial worlds have been colonised yet. |
5000 CE. The first star has been colonied. Three radio messages are enroute from the home star into the newly colonised star, a minor F5 class. |
6000 CE. The first of the bright stars has been colonised and many radio waves bounce between the colonies. |
7000 CE. A huge wedge of the upper sky has been colonised as well as the second of the A class stars. |
8000 AD. Almost the entire middle third of the galaxy is now colonised. |
9000 CE. The brightest stars of the galaxy have been colonised, however many M and K class stars remain uninhabited. |
10000 CE. Only a few M class stars are left; in the coming 1000 years they too will be colonised. |
11000 CE. The sky lights up with hundreds of radio messages. No star is not fully inhabited. |
